The syslog-ng Administrator Guide

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 option statement to the syslog-ng configuration file using the following syntax:

options { option1(params); option2(params); ... };
        

	Example 3.9. Using global options
	To disable domain name resolving, add the following line to the syslog-ng configuration file: options { use_dns(no); };

For a detailed list of the available options, see Section 9.6, “Options”. See Chapter 7, Best practices and examples for important global options and recommendations on their use.
