True.. How can I chop that content and pass it to the db-parser?? Also how to handle different values like if authentication method can be password, public key, none, keyboard interactive. How do I put the values in the pattern-db rule.do I keep adding them in example tag of the rule.. Thankyou very much for the quick response. I m a trying to get onboard :) On Sep 30, 2014 3:34 PM, "Fabien Wernli" <wernli@in2p3.fr> wrote:

auth.notice] " rest of the message is written in the example you provided
First things first, you shouldn't need to worry about date, host and program: they are automatically being parsed by syslog-ng and cast respectively into the macros $DATE, $HOST, and $PROGRAM. The latter is being used by patterndb to separate rulesets. So in your example, $PROGRAM=sshd, $MSG=[ID 800047 auth.notice] ...
Secondly, if I were you, I wouldn't touch the patterndb: I'd rather rewrite all messages to drop the annoying prefix, and only then pass the result to the dbparser.
If you don't know how to do that, I can be of further assistance :-)
cheers
