Good news.

Ooh nice.

Will this allow the incremental parsing I was discussing on the list?

  type = single
  cont = takenext
  desc = parse standard syslog info
  rem = 2011-11-06T00:29:07.388514+00:00 rtr01 sshd[3456]:
  ptype = regexp
  pattern = '^.{32} (\w+) (\w+)\[(\d+)\]:
  varmap = syslog; host=1; service=2; pid=3; line=0
  action = none


  type = single
  desc = log all rtr1 failing sshd entries
  ptype = substr
  pattern = fail
  context = =($:{syslog:host} eq "rtr01")
  action = write sshd_failure_log $:{syslog:line}

will do the "right thing" 8-). Also will this work if they are in two
different files (e.g. if the first rule resulted in a jump to say
$2_rules.sr).

Is there a chnagelog and examples available separately from the
download so I know what new things to look for?
