[syslog-ng] Embedded log statements

29 Mar 2011

      Hi there,

 The example in the Administrator's Guide, looks (simplified) like this:

log{ Source(source); filter(f1); destination(d1)
    log { filter(f1.1); destination(d1.1)
         log {filter(f1.1.1); destination(d1.1.1)};
        };
    };

ie. the equivalence of:
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); destination(d1)}
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); filter(f1.1); destination(d1.1)}
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); filter(f1.1); filter(f1.1.1);
destination(d1.1.1)};

I need to know if the following also allowed/expected behavior of embedded logs:

log{ Source(source); filter(f1); destination(d1)
    log { filter(f1.1); destination(d1.1)
         log {filter(f1.1.1); destination(d1.1.1)};
        };
    log {filter(f1.2); destination(d1.2)};
    };

ie. equivalent to:

log{ Source(source); filter(f1); destination(d1)}
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); filter(f1.1); destination(d1.1)}
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); filter(f1.1); filter(f1.1.1);
destination(d1.1.1)};
log{ Source(source); filter(f1); filter(f1.2); destination(d1.2)}

And example to this nature in the documentation would be appreciated ;)

Thank you
Hendrik
