<div>Syslog messages have multiple
components to the. Date/time, host, program, message and a few
others.</div>
<div>The important point is that the program
and message are independent items. This means that the pattern
database must use a two phase matching method, first matching the
program and then matching the message.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another way to look at it is that the
same message for two different programs means two independent
matching rules.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Taking this into account you need to
write your patterndb differently. Either merging the rulesets (as
proposed by aszakacs), or breaking apart the duplicate rule (one
rule for two programs) as shown below. Although it may have worked
(or appeared to have worked) in syslog-ng 3.6 or 3.7, it was
against the patterndb specification.<br>
