Hi,

I am using syslog-ng version 3.25.1.Getting following Warnings and error while initialising syslog-ng engine:

[2020-02-13T10:47:29.627899] WARNING: due to a bug in versions before syslog-ng 3.8numeric comparison operators like '!=' in filter expressions were evaluated as string operators. This is fixed in syslog-ng 3.8. As we are operating in compatibility mode, syslog-ng will exhibit the buggy behaviour as previous versions until you bump the @version value in your configuration file;

1)For the following warnings, to which version I have to bump up the configuration file ?

Currrently the configuration version is the following:

configuration = cfg_new(0x0302)

Do I have to change it to '0x0319' as defined in 'lib/versioning.h' ?

2)The same default.xml file was getting loaded correctly in syslog-ng-3.6.2 and syslog-ng-3.7.1 but getting following error while loading same default.xml in syslog-ng3.25.1 


2020-02-13T10:47:29.631090] Error parsing pattern database file; filename='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml', error='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml:17274:22: Joining rulesets with mismatching program name sets, program=proxysg'.

What can be the reason for this error ?


Thanks,
