Hello,

I'm new to syslog-ng, and I'm having some trouble. 
I want to use syslog-ng to aggregate similar events from our firewalls. I use the grouping-by parser to create an aggregated event, but I have a question, how do I get only aggregated events on the output without source ones?
 
My configuration:
 
parser p_patterndb {
        db-parser(file("/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/forti.xml"));
        };
 
log {
        source {
          file("/tmp/in.log" flags(no-parse));
        };
       parser {
          kv_parser (prefix("forti."));
          grouping-by(
                key("${forti.devname}${forti.srcip}${forti.dstip}${forti.dstport}")
                scope("process")
                timeout(15)
                aggregate(
                  value("MESSAGE" "aggegated devname=${forti.devname} srcip=${forti.srcip} dstip=${forti.dstip} dstport=${forti.dstport} count=$(context-length)")
                  inherit-mode("context")
                )
                 );
                };
        destination {
          file("tmp/out.log");
          };
  };

My current output:

What I want:

Jun  8 08:42:28 centos7-1 aggegated devname=fw01 srcip=172.26.104.3 dstip=172.16.104.219 dstport=9092 count=3

Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
