Whoops, sorry, looks like my notes did not make that version.  Give me a
day to add them
back in. 
 
 
Richard
 
P.S.
 
Now where did those 200 lines of comments go?

Take a look at my config file at:
 
ftp://ftp.cataphract.com/syslog/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-1.6.0rc1/s
yslog-ng.conf
 
I added a lot of comments related to how to build filtering in
syslog-ng.  The documentation
is very short on the subject matter.

What is the best way to write a custom filter for syslog-ng? Any
pointers would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Rohit
