[syslog-ng] weird filter problem

[Evan Rempel]

This definitely works. I'm using it right now.

If it isn't working, then your pattern in the patterndb is not matching. We literally run millions of messages per hour through this exact filter ... I copied and pasted it from our pattern database.

This always appears to return true.  I.e. this filter includes everything.  Negating it includes nothing.

I have tried to install 3.2.5 as this is the last version that ELSA is confirmed to work with but that does not start:

Starting syslog-ng
/usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng: error while loading shared libraries: libsyslog-ng.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So far as I can tell all the lib files are present and correct and in the same place as the previous version?

I have syslog-ng installed in /usr/local/syslog-ng-<version> and a symlink /usr/local/syslog-ng pointing to the version to use.
