Hello everyone,

I was wondering if syslog-ng supports triggers (based on keywords OR 
time events).

Ie: i want to be able to call an application if syslog-ng detects the 
same log message came from the same host x times in y minutes.

We are suffering a lot of attacks against our webmail servers and would 
like to use this to try and trigger an alarm
against brute force connections.

Thanks in advance,
