Resource Parameter Values - Notes

Parameter values can generally be passed as the expected format type for the parameter they configure, for example integers for number fields and strings for text parameters.
There are some exceptions to this rule such as the use-dns() parameter which accepts either yes, no or persist_only. In this case the persist_only option is not a string but a symbol and must be passed as such else it will be quoted as per normal strings and syslog-ng will fail with a configuration error.
