Version 3.23 of syslog-ng Open Source Edition includes the following main features.
In syslog-ng OSE version 3.23 and later, you can specify a comma-separated list of formats to parse multiple date formats with a single parser. For example:
date-parser(format(
"%FT%T.%f",
"%F %T,%f",
"%F %T"
));
For details, see "Options of date-parser() parsers" in the Administration Guide.
You can now display the preprocessed configuration of syslog-ng OSE on the standard output using the syslog-ng --preprocess-into=/dev/stdout command.
You can now move or rename disk-buffer files using the dqtool relocate command.
You can now set the time-reap() option separately for each destination. Note that how this option works has also changed. For details, see "Global options" in the Administration Guide.
