Configuring global options
The syslog-ng
application has a number of global options governing DNS usage, the timestamp format used, and other general points. Each option may have parameters, similarly to driver specifications. To set global options, add an options statement to the syslog-ng.conf
configuration file using the following syntax:
options { option1(params); option2(params); ... };
Example: Using global options
To disable domain name resolving, add the following line to the syslog-ng.conf
configuration file:
options { use-dns(no); };
For a detailed list of the available options, see Global options reference. For important global options and recommendations on their use, see Best practices and examples.
