I was reading through the documentation, and noticed that in some examples the log statements are named:

log demo_filteredlog { source(s1); filter(demo_filter); destination(d1);};

When I tried using this method in my config file, syslog-ng fails to start. Is this method supported or is this just an oversight with the documentation?

I think it's a bug in the docs, but that's just my gut feeling. It might have been supported in the past, but as far as I see from the code, it's not a supported syntax in 3.3.

Also, the links to the sample pattern database (http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/patterndb-snapshot/?utm_source=syslog...) apprears to be incorrect. Is this the same pattern database at /downloads/files?path=/patterndb-snapshot? or is there a more recent one available to download?

http://git.balabit.hu/?p=czanik/syslog-ng-patterndb.git;a=summary is the newest, I believe. But there are probably a lot of patterns scattered around in the mailing list archives, and in various software built that use syslog-ng under the hood. -- |8]
