[syslog-ng] Confusion on number of filters

[James Lay]

Hey all,

Here's what I have...one source:

source s_local {
         unix-stream("/dev/log");
         udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
         tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
         file("/proc/kmsg");
};


three destinations:
destination d_file { file("/var/log/messages"); };
destination d_syslogserver { udp ("x.x.x.x", port(514)); };
destination d_logontype { udp ("x.x.x.x", port(515)); };


and a few filters:
filter f_syslogfilter {
         message("0x0004")
};

filter f_firewall {
         program("firewall")
};

filter f_logontype {
         message("Logon")
};


With the below log entry running with -F -d, I will only get the first 
2 of the three filters evaluated:
log {
         source(s_local);
         filter(f_syslogfilter);
         destination(d_file);
         filter(f_firewall);
         destination(d_syslogserver);
         filter(f_logontype);
         destination(d_logontype);
};

but after splitting them out I see all three evaluated:

log {
         source(s_local);
         filter(f_syslogfilter);
         destination(d_file);
};

log {
         source(s_local);
         filter(f_firewall);
         destination(d_syslogserver);
};

log {
         source(s_local);
         filter(f_logontype10);
         destination(d_logontype10);
};

Is there a reason or limit or documentation for this?  I can verify 
that the log entry passed for "Logon" in my testing didn't match the 
previous two filters.  Version is 3.3.11.  Thank you.
