No registry that I know of. A while back I think there was some discussion along these lines, but I don't know that anything official ever got hammered out. Since ELSA uses PatternDB, I'm also very interested in this direction, because if a standard were developed, ELSA could be made to both produce and consume these patterns with repository integration.

We are preparing to leverage the patterndb functionality in a very big way. A few questions before I jump.
1. Is there a public repository of pattern databases?
2. Is there some registry for creating the uniq IDs for rules and rule sets? For example, is there anything that prevents me from creating a rule with a duplicate rule ID that would result in an ID collision when merged with some other patterndb author?
3. Is there any registry for tag names, or key value pair names so that tags that I place on a message will be usable by others syslog-ng configuration filters?
4. Are there any best practices for tag names or key names to provide any kind of grouping? For example;
user.name user.uid user.gid host.address.ipv4 host.address.ipv6 host.name
Any pointers or discussion will be helpful because we are looking at producing a complete "artificial ignorance" infrastructure for our entire organization, from linux, research compute clusters, network gear, Windows hosts, web hosting, database services etc.
Thanks for your time.
