[syslog-ng] group-by() send all messages to destination() ?

What Fabien suggested just rang a bell for me, but wouldn't "context-values" or "context-lookup" template functions  suit your need?

I have copied the admin guide's referring part:

context-values
Syntax:
$(context-values $name-value1 $name-value2 ...)
Description: The context-values template function returns a list of every occurrence of the
specified name-value pairs from the entire context. For example, if the context contains
multiple messages, the $(context-values ${HOST}) template function will return a comma-
separated list of the ${HOST} values that appear in the context.

Sorry if I'm wrong, these are just my 2 cents.

Regards,
Gabor

Actually, you cannot yet, but might be able to soon(ish):
