[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng 3.4.5 support question

[Attila Szakacs (aszakacs)]

Hi Mukesh,

You cannot use if-else or for loop in patterndb, you can only set pattern matching rules, to classify the incoming log messages.

The oldest Admin Guide I have found is for 3.5: https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/list/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.5
Chapter 13 is about patterndb.

Can you tell us your use case? What do you want to achieve by using if-else and for loop in the patterndb xml?

Cheers,
Attila

Hi,

We are using syslog-ng 3.4.5 version and we are using it to utilize patterndb. We are not looking for bug fix but using it for just all the different ways we can use the patterndb xml. Please provide me the info on such as the IF and ELSE statements, For loops in the xml file.

Thanks,
Mukesh Kumar
