I'm not sure when this stopped but version 4.11.0 is not logging the lines =
of

Syslog connection accepted; fd=3D'1686', client=3D'AF_INET(1.2.3.4:53538)',=
 local=3D'AF_INET(5.6.7.8:601)'

I am unable to find a setting that might enable this.

The logs contain many other "internal" log messages.

syslog-ng starting up; version=3D'4.11.0'
Syslog connection established; fd=3D'29', server=3D'AF_INET(127.0.0.1:1514)=
', local=3D'AF_INET(5.6.7.8:0)'
Accepting connections; listen_fd=3D'13', addr=3D'AF_INET(5.6.7.8:601)'
Loading the new configuration;
Configuration reload finished;

My system running version syslog-ng-4.6.0 logs the "connection accepted" fo=
r all new connections.

Any help to enable the "connection accepted" log lines would be awesome.
