When you report a bug, it is important to share as much relevant information as you can, including:

  • version number of syslog-ng OSE used;
  • the platform (operating system and its version, architecture, and so on);
  • a backtrace from the core file if the issue is a crash (this can be invaluable);
  • if possible, a configuration that triggers the problem;
  • a detailed description of the issue.

To make it easy to read reports, if you send a configuration snippet, or a backtrace, use fenced code blocks around them.
