[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng not honoring negative flag

Hello Dan,

I believe that Bazsi (Balázs) wasn't really looking for the startup
messages about the config being parsed, but instead about the debug/trace
output of the log processing pipeline.
There he would be able to check which filters were run against a certain
message (its actual content too), and what result those filters returned.
I think that's what he's primarily after.

Best Regards,
János

Make the switch to open (source) applications, protocols, formats now:
- windows -> Linux, iexplore -> Firefox, msoffice -> LibreOffice
- msn -> jabber protocol (Pidgin, Google Talk)
- mp3 -> ogg, wmv -> ogg, jpg -> png, doc/xls/ppt -> odt/ods/odp
