Syslog-ng has a separate config file in addition to the core configuration.
Syslog-ng offers built-in features for SIEM alerts and advanced log extraction, storage, and compound search functionalities by time, user, or behavior. Professionally challenging, customization is possible through an additional configuration file despite existing integration and filtering issues. Potential for protocol extensions and enhanced observability exists, though expert professionals are scarce. Issues in configuration and integration occasionally arise, impacting its deployment efficiency among tech buyers.
