What’s new in the syslog-ng OSE pattern database format V5

This section describes the differences of V5 and V4 pattern database format in syslog-ng OSE.

The V5 database format has the following differences compared to the V4 format:

• The <ruleset> element can now store multiple reference URLs using the new <rule_urls> element. For details, see Element: ruleset.
• In an <action>, you can now initialize a new context. As a result, the <message> element is not required. For details, see Element: create-context.
• The inherit-properties attribute is deprecated, use the inherit-mode attribute instead. For details, see Element: action.
