I am trying to use syslog-ng to reduce certain types of logging. I have scoured the web looking for information on the supposed regex support in syslog-ng, but the only thing I have really found mention of is the "match" keyword that matches a simple string. What I wanted to know is if syslog-ng supports either posix or perl style regular expressions. If not, has anyone found any other effective method of reducing logs using regex with an external program? (that could be used with the "program" keyword perhaps?)

Thanks in advance,
