1 That's right, the value() parameter specifies which part of the message to
2 check. This helps to cut down the performance cost of filtering, because there
3 is no need to process the entire message if you are filtering on the program
4 name, for example.

6 Also, check the syslog-ng Administrator Guide
7 (http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng&type=all&language[en]=en&)
8 if you run into problems. And let me know if you do not find something that
9 should be in the guide so I can add it some time.
