           Summary: filter on tag does partial match
           Product: syslog-ng
           Version: 3.4.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

According to the documentation

-------
tags()

Synopsis:       tag
Description: Select messages labeled with the specified tag. Every message automatically has the tag of its source
in .source.<id_of_the_source_statement> format. This option is available only in syslog-ng 3.1 and later.
------------

I interpret this to mean that an exact and full match of the tag is required.

I have a tag on a message of "collection.required" and a filter

filter f_collection {
        tags("collection");
};


this filter matches the messages with the tag "collection.required" which I think is a bug.

I expect this filter on only match tags that exactly match "collection".
