I don't think in-list does partial matches now. But what you have there would try to look up the MESSAGE value in the noise.list file and not search DNS names in your $MESSAGE.

To do the latter, I am afraid you'd have to combine the DNS names into a regexp and use match() or message() to search for matches.

Can syslog-ng parse the message field for a partial match using the in-list function? For instance, I am querying DNS logs and want to filter out common domains (i.e. Microsoft.com, Redhat.com)

In my list file I just have the domains, one per line and in my config file, if have the following: filter f_dns_noise_oklist { in-list("/etc/syslog-ng/lists.d/dns_noise.list", value("MESSAGE")); }; but it doesn’t seem to be working.
