I second Siem's opinion that I think syslog-ng should be the log routing work horse and leave as much output to auxiliary programs as possible. In my opinion, it would be far better to tag messages with a color tag using the db-parser() module and have a simple script change the text to the appropriate color. The brand-new pattern db that was just released is far more valuable to me personally than output formatting features. On the other hand, I do recognize that not all users want to spend time scripting, so perhaps it is valuable to others. --Martin On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 3:26 AM, Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> wrote:

Thanks.
1) can you please you (or your employer) sign the contributory license agreement (http://www.balabit.com/dl/CLA_patch.pdf), this allows us to synchronize the OSE tree with the PE tree (which let's us flow patches in both directions)
Is it enough to send signed (scanned) pdf via email? (I've sent it to info@balabit.com)
should be enough, yes, thank you.
In my personal opinion the core of syslog-ng should limit itself to routing log messages and leave the interpretation of the importance of the messages to other applications. So, keep programs small and dedicated to a single task.
I only can say that my goal was to use syslog-ng filters to apply different schemes - that's why I don't use other tools.
Any other opinions about this colorization stuff?
