a. Define sources.
To define sources use this statement:
source <identifier> { source-driver([params]); source driver([params]);
...};
where:
• identifier - Has to uniquely identify this given source.
• source-driver - Is a method of getting a given message.
• params - Each source-driver may take parameters. Some of
them are required, some of them are optional.
The following source-drivers are available:
use_dns (yes/
no) Enable or disable DNS usage. syslog-ng blocks on DNS
queries, so enabling DNS may lead to a Denial of Service
attach.
gc_idle_threshold(
n) Sets the threshold value for the garbage collector, when
syslog-ng is idle. GC phase starts when the number of
allocated objects reach this number. Default: 100.
gc_busy_threshold(
n) Sets the threshold value for the garbage collector. When
syslog-ng is busy, GC phase starts.
create_dirs(yes/
no) Enable the creation of new directories.
owner(name) Set the owner of the created file to the one specified.
Default: root.
group(name) Set the group of the created file to the one specified.
Default: root.
perm(mask) Set the permission mask of the created file to the one
specified. Default: 0600.
