I take it you mean 3.4.7 -> 3.4.8? |

It's been a while since I dealt with that beast called syslog-ng, but |
| 17 |
looking at your .conf I see: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
log { source(local); filter(f_3); filter(f_4); filter(f_5); filter(f_6); |
| 20 |
destination(d_3); }; |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Single log entries can easily match many of those filters leading to |
| 24 |
duplicate entries all being written to d_3 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The final flag is what deals with that. Use it in your filters to stop |
| 27 |
processing for that message when matched. |

I can't explain the change since 3.4.8 - perhaps it's a bug fix that |
| 32 |
didn;t make it into the ChangeLog? |
