  • can you mention in what scenarios you would use syslog-ng as there is limited information on when you would use it on pfSense. General points for this would be suitable.

Updating the links is OK, but adding more info on syslog-ng should go in its own separate doc somewhere. It doesn't currently have its own documentation and mixing it into the base system docs isn't a good idea. That would be a separate request for new content, though, not lumped into this.

I thought the syslog-ng information was relevant because it would clear up when to use remote logging to a separate server or enabling syslog-NG on pfsesne and then using that. But maybe a link to its own page would be as useful.
