Hello

 

If the filter specified in syslog-ng.conf contains the ( character or ) character, then is it correct to prefix them with \\.

 

For example, if I need to filter a syslog containing the string (abcd)

 

then in syslog-ng.conf, I would need to specify the filter as \\(abcd\\)

 

Could someone confirm, if this is the correct way of specifying the filter, please ?

 

If not, please let me know the correct way of specifying the filter.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
