Automatic configuration of the syslog-ng wildcard-file() source
Reading files and monitoring directories became a lot more efficient in recent syslog-ng releases. However, it is also needed manual configuration. Version 4.11 of syslog-ng can automatically configure the optimal setting for both.
What to fix next in syslog-ng?
Version 4.11 of syslog-ng will feature a brand-new Kafka source. While it is being tested and reviewed, we are working on reducing the number of open issues. What should be fixed next?

UDP reliability improved in syslog-ng Debian packaging
UDP log collection is a legacy feature that does not provide any security or reliability, but is still in wide use. You can improve its reliability using eBPF on Linux in recent syslog-ng versions. Support for eBPF was added to Debian packages while preparing for the 4.11.0 syslog-ng release.
