Package: syslog-ng
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: important
Upon upgrading to 3.1.x I get only useless stats in my /var/log/syslog.
Two problems:
- "stats_freq(0)" should be added to default syslog-ng.conf
- facility(syslog) logs nothing at all, so I reverted f_syslog3 to my
previous:
filter f_syslog3 { not facility(auth, authpriv) and not filter(f_debug); };
