I cant execute those commands. Here's the error Unknown command Syntax: pdbtool <command> [options] Possible commands are: match Match a message against the pattern database dump Dump pattern datebase tree merge Merge pattern databases dictionary Dump pattern dictionary Version syslog-ng-premium-edition 3.2.1 Installer-Version: 3.2.1

You can also include an example pattern as part of the actual rule like this:
<ruleset> <program></program> <rule id="2"> <pattern>@ESTRING:user::@ Security Microsoft Windows security auditing.: [Success Audit] A computer account was changed. Subject: Security ID: S-1-5-7 Account Name: ANONYMOUS LOGON Account Domain: NT AUTHORITY Logon ID: 0x3e6 Computer Account That Was Changed: Security ID: @ESTRING:: @Account Name: @ESTRING:ACC_NAME: @ Account Domain: WW002 Changed Attributes: SAM Account Name: - Display Name: - User Principal Name: - Home Directory: - Home Drive: - Script Path: - Profile Path: - User Workstations: - Password Last Set: @ESTRING:: @@ESTRING:: @ Account Expires: - Primary Group ID: - AllowedToDelegateTo: - Old UAC Value: - New UAC Value: - User Account Control: - User Parameters: - SID History: - Logon Hours: - DNS Host Name: - Service Principal Names: - Additional Information: Privileges: - (EventID 4742)</pattern> <examples> <example> <test_message program="Microsoft_Windows_security_auditing.[5784]">: Security Microsoft Windows security auditing.: [Success Audit] A computer account was changed.

Then you can test it more easily like this: pdbtool test patterndb.xml

Nope, no luck yet. Still blanks being spit out.
Here's the exact extract of the pattern matching and the log:

"pdbtool match" can be used to test patterns.
pdbtool patch -p <path to xml file> -P '<appname>' -M '<msg>' --debug --color-out
This even colours the output so that the partial matches can be recognized. This is the best way to troubleshoot patterns.
