# Configuring multithreading

Starting with version 3.6, AxoSyslog runs in multithreaded mode by default. You can enable multithreading in AxoSyslog using the following methods:

- Globally using the `threaded(yes)` option.
- Separately for selected sources or destinations using the `flags("threaded")` option.

## Example: Enabling multithreading

To enable multithreading globally, use the `threaded` option:

```shell
   options {
        threaded(yes) ;
    };
```

To enable multithreading only for a selected source or destination, use the `flags("threaded")` option:

```shell
   source s_tcp_syslog {
        network(
            ip(127.0.0.1)
            port(1999)
            flags("syslog-protocol", "threaded")
        );
    };
```
