Hi, see documentation, it explains how it works: StringMatchFilter.StringToMatch Property - The string that will be substring matched against the rendered message. If the message contains this string then the filter will match. If a match is found then the result depends on the value of AcceptOnMatch.
StringMatchFilter.RegexToMatch Property - The regular expression pattern that will be matched against the rendered message. If the message matches this pattern then the filter will match. If a match is found then the result depends on the value of AcceptOnMatch. One of StringToMatch or RegexToMatch must be specified. So probably you need to use RegexToMatch to detect exact string value.

I'm using the PropertyFilter class which I assumed, I guess wrongly so, that the StringToMatch would be for an exact match. It seems that's not the case and a match is detected if the StringToMatch is a substring of the property value. Is there a way to get an exact match without having to write my own filter or use regular expressions? Thanks, Nick
