Hi,

We have published the latest edition of The syslog-ng Store Box 3 LTS Administrator Guide. SSB can now forward messages to an SNMP destination, and is powered by a 64-bit operating system. Message rate alerting is available, to detect abnormalities. SSB can now search for wildcards and boolean expressions, and rewrite parts of the messages using rewrite rules.
