Description

Adds Python module support to syslog-ng so administrators can extend log processing with custom Python logic. It is useful for specialized parsing, enrichment, destinations, or policy decisions that built-in modules do not cover.

Custom Python code in logging paths can leak data, slow processing, or fail under load. Review scripts carefully and test performance before production use.
