This guide describes the use of the following syslog-ng versions:
syslog-ng Open Source Edition (OSE) v2.0.x and syslog-ng Open Source Edition (OSE) v2.1.x
syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) v2.1 and later, including syslog-ng Agent for Windows v2.1 and later
syslog-ng Agent for IBM System i
Most of the guide applies equally to both the Open Source and the Premium editions of syslog-ng, with the following exceptions:
Message encryption using SSL/TLS is available only in the Premium Edition.
The syslog-ng agent for Microsoft Windows is available only in the Premium Edition.
Disk-based buffering (disk-buffer) is available only in the Premium Edition.
Direct database access (the sql() destination) is available
only in the Premium Edition.
Only the Premium Edition can limit the rate of outgoing messages (using the
throttle() parameter).
The Open Source Edition does not require a license file.
The syslog-ng Agent for IBM System i is a commercial product independent from both syslog-ng OSE and PE, and must be licensed separately.
