<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>After debugging further into the issue looks like there was a fix for patterndb rule clash in syslog-ng-3.8 and this is the commit-id '12cd960c8f47260b0b0d4154b096994d66fe345'<br>for the fix.

<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am using syslog-ng version 3.25.1.Getting following Warnings and error while initialising syslog-ng engine:<br>

<br>
<br>
1)For the following warnings, to which version I have to bump up the configuration file ?<br>

<br>
Currrently the configuration version is the following:<br>
<br>
configuration = cfg_new(0x0302)<br>
<br>
Do I have to change it to '0x0319' as defined in 'lib/versioning.h' ?<br>
<br>
2)The same default.xml file was getting loaded correctly in syslog-ng-3.6.2 and syslog-ng-3.7.1 but getting following error while loading same default.xml in syslog-ng3.25.1 <br>
<br>
<br>
2020-02-13T10:47:29.631090] Error parsing pattern database file; filename='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml', error='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml:17274:22: Joining rulesets with mismatching program name sets, program=proxysg'.<br>
<br>
What can be the reason for this error ?
