Could you please share the whole config file, or the minimal config parts for the problem to happen, so we can reproduce the issue locally? The patterndb xml file will probably also be needed.</div>

There were some PRs merged related to patterndb since 3.17, but I cannot say for sure, which would introduce a memory leak.</div>

Ok, I did another tests and discover that the problem is not amqp or<br>
kafka destination, but the parserdb.<br>
<br>
Removing the parser in the log line, the memory keeps normal.<br>
<br>
Downgrading to syslog-ng 3.17 I can use the parserdb with amqp without<br>
the memory leak problem. I didn't test with newer versions yet, but<br>
seems to be a memory leak problem with patterndb. I will remove the<br>
"<action>" sections in patterndb to see if it change something in 3.22...<br>
<br>
Any known issue?<br>
