[syslog-ng]Filter on severity range

[Jon Marks]

Thank you very much, Mr. Arlt, for your prompt response! This seems to work
just fine. I have another question.

It would seem to me that the method I outlined *should* work, although
the shorthand is preferable. Even so, it doesn't work. I seem to have
trouble calling other filters. For example, syslog-ng doesn't yield a
parse error if I use a filter identifier which doesn't exist (e.g. a
typo). Also, it doesn't seem to evaluate the filter properly. The
example copied below fails to catch any messages at all. Why is this?
Am I misunderstanding the semantics of calling other filters or using
connective operators?

Again, thank you!
