Hi Attila, Thanks for your response. And what about the following error: 2020-02-13T10:47:29.631090] Error parsing pattern database file; filename='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml', error='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml:17274:22: Joining rulesets with mismatching program name sets, program=proxysg'. The same default.xml file was getting loaded correctly in syslog-ng-3.6.2 and syslog-ng-3.7.1 but getting following error while loading same default.xml in syslog-ng3.25.1 I came across a similar issue on githib ' https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/2763' .I see the issue is still in open state.Is there a workaround for this issue?

Hi!
WARNING: due to a bug in versions before syslog-ng 3.8numeric comparison operators like '!=' in filter expressions were evaluated as string operators. This is fixed in syslog-ng 3.8. As we are operating in compatibility mode, syslog-ng will exhibit the buggy behaviour as previous versions until you bump the @version value in your configuration file;
^^^ This refers to the syslog-ng.conf file version.
The correct way to resolve it, and fix the buggy behavior of != and ==, should be to change the != operators between strings to neq in your filters.

Hi,
I am using syslog-ng version 3.25.1.Getting following Warnings and error while initialising syslog-ng engine:

1)For the following warnings, to which version I have to bump up the configuration file ?

Currrently the configuration version is the following:
configuration = cfg_new(0x0302)
Do I have to change it to '0x0319' as defined in 'lib/versioning.h' ?
2)The same default.xml file was getting loaded correctly in syslog-ng-3.6.2 and syslog-ng-3.7.1 but getting following error while loading same default.xml in syslog-ng3.25.1
2020-02-13T10:47:29.631090] Error parsing pattern database file; filename='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml', error='/home/nsaboo/abc/default.xml:17274:22: Joining rulesets with mismatching program name sets, program=proxysg'.
What can be the reason for this error ?
Thanks, Nitish
