My question is: Is it possible or planed for future releases to include time conditions in filter functions?. The "match" statement doesn't seem to check date or time and using program as destination is quite hard due to it "destination" not filter role in log paths. In my opinion very interesting option would be including external program as filter (ie. returning filter decision as std output or exit code).
Most people use external programs like swatch or SEC to do these things. http://www.campin.net/newlogcheck.html#swatch The syslog-ng author doesn't want to overload the program with too many features, at least in cases when similar functionality is available using external programs. -- Nate "Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher.
