Hi Maciek!<br>
<br>
I've checked the documentation and I've found  documentation bug about an example for value() option:<br>
<a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.26/administration-guide/86#TOPIC-1431237" id="LPlnk707875">https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.26/administration-guide/86#TOPIC-1431237</a><br>
<br>
Thanks for your notice, I've checked the whole chapter of grouping-by!<br>
About improving the documentation:<br>
I admit that the chapter where grouping-by() options listed is a bit dense in case of the value() in the aggregate() option.<br>
We will discuss this with the doc writer team, when they process the grouping-by() parser example config bug I've reported.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br>
Otherwise, I think Fabien helped you find out where is the problem: in your destination side template, you only include the .auditd. macros, which have been parsed by linux-auditd-parser().<br>
$MESSAGE macro was missing from the template which is set by the grouping-by parser.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important">I don't know your use case, but<span> </span></span>I think your current solution lacks any usage of correlation: even though you set a new name-value pair in the aggregated message
 (.auditd.test), it's basically the same message as the last message that arrived into the same context.<br>
As Fabien said, you will see that same message twice (the last message before the timeout expired).<br>
The above link shows a good example (I'm copying a fixed version of it) what you can do with message contexts:<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
If you want to see more Macros in json you can use scopes, for instance:<br>
<br>
   format-json -s nv-pairs     # all generic non-dot macros<br>
   format-json -s all-nv-pairs # all generic macros<br>
   format-json -s everything   # as advertised<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
