Hi, Last week BalaBit made available some 8000 patterns (covering more than 200 applications) for syslog-ng patterndb (or db_parser as you like to call it). The patterns are available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 (CC by-NC-SA) license. The patterns in their current form are just snapshots of the ongoing effort of providing good quality patterns for various applications. You can download the snapshot of patterns from our website: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/patterndb-snapshot/patterndb-20091209... The patterns are partially hand-crafted and also automatically generated from logfiles and from logcheck regexp based database. Some of the patterns also contains example messages which we are using to automatically test the pattern and syslog-ng's db_parser. You can merge the xml files using "pdbtool merge". I would also like to setup a public git repository where anyone interested can follow the patterndb development and can submit patterns or fixes. A patterndb website containing all patterndb related information, links, forums, wikis and other useful documentations is under construction as well. Till than the syslog-ng mailing list a good place for questions, ideas and discussions. As always feedbacks are very welcomed! Happy parsing!
