           Summary: DOCBUG: --rekey

           Version: 3.5.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: syslog-ng
        AssignedTo: bazsi at balabit.hu

In Example 2.3. (Using the rekey() option) from §2.10.1. (Specifying data types in value-pairs) the documentation claims:

"The rekey() option can be used with the format-json template-function as well, using the following syntax:
$(format-json --key .cee.* --rekey --shift 4 --add-prefix events.)"

However, when using this syntax, the config parser fails with the following error:

"Error parsing config, Error compiling template (Error parsing value-pairs: expected an equal sign in key=value pair)"

The correct syntax (which works, as suggested by algeron on IRC) would be the following:

$(format-json --rekey .cee.* --add-prefix events.
