Summary

syslog-ng 4.9.0 adds stats-exporter() and stats-exporter-dont-log() sources that expose syslog-ng-ctl statistics or queries to HTTP scrapers, with rate, format and single-instance controls. It also adds RFC6587 auto-detection for octet-count framing and inotify-based wildcard-file change detection.

Why it matters

Operational telemetry becomes part of the log daemon’s native HTTP surface, reducing the need for separate polling integrations.
