Hi Evan!

You can use the double dollar sign ($$) to escape dollar sign in templates (and thus in patternd actions or values). It has been changed in patch https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/commit/edf0292c385e98b9cddc1879974e30939e0d95dd , so from 3.5, you should use this escaping form.

BR,

Viktor

I would like to place a $ character into the value of a tag/vlue pair using the patternDB
but I can't find a way to do it. It seems that everything I have tried the patternDB engine
interprets the $ as the start ov a variable expansion.

Does anyone know if this can be done?
An then the follow up question "How?"

Thanks for your time.
