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

[Evan Rempel]

Thanks, I just wanted to see your reasoning behind your decision.

Does anyone know of any patternDB parsing that was intended to conform to the Splunk CIM that I could take a look at. I'm just trying to shorten the learning curve.

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.
