[syslog-ng] Diagnosing patterndb load errors

[Matthew Hall]

I am getting the following sequence of load errors for my patterndbs.

Duplicates eliminated, timestamps zeroed out, host info anonymized.

Has anybody else gotten these and learned how to fix them?

I'm having a hard time figuring out what 'type', 'name', and 'value' mean,
to track them down in the XML files.

Thanks,
Matthew Hall.
