[syslog-ng] Is there a standard for naming tag/value pairs when parsing

[jrhendri]

There is something to be said for making it easy to use syslog-ng with the major players and right now that is splunk. I would hasten to add keeping json actively used and the native elasticsearch destination current also makes it easy to position syslog-ng as a standard collection and distribution layer. 
Within 2 to 3 years something will leapfrog splunk and if syslog-ng is ready, it will make that transition much easier.

Well, CEE is pretty much dead, and I didn't see too much activity wrt lumberjack either.
I would rather see consolidation instead of further fragmentation in this area.

    You are the last person I thought would
      point me toward the splunk CIM. Given the support that Balabit has
      put behind CEE and then lumberjack and even the experimental
      patternDB schema
      (https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-patterndb/blob/master/SCHEMAS.txt)
      I was sure you would steer me toward lumberjack.

      

      At first glance the splunk CIM appears to be structured around and
      partially dependant on some of the data flows of the splunk
      product. I'll continue to review it but at this point I am still
      open to alternate suggestions.

      There's common information model at splunk or the
        field dictionary of CEF, of arcsight fame.
      I would probably use the splunk one, except if you
        plan to use arcsight at the end.

          to be the

          official standard for metadata names for events, but that
          project has

          been stopped.

          

          Other than the two references that the CEE project has for
          logging

          standardization efforts, does anyone know of any major efforts
          by any

          group to define a standard for metadata naming?
