2.3. Modes of operation

The syslog-ng Premium Edition application has three distinct modes of operation: Client, Server, and Relay. The syslog-ng application running on a host determines the mode of operation automatically based on the license and the configuration file.

[Note] Note

Microsoft Windows based hosts can run only the syslog-ng agent. The syslog-ng agent operates only in client mode.
