Today, we have added support for so-called “tags” to liblognorm (and it’s base library libee). This new capabilities permits very easy classification of syslog message and log records in general. So you can not only extract data from your various log source, you can also classify events, for example, as being a “login”, a “logout” or a firewall “denied access”. This makes it very easy to look at specific subsets of messages and process them in ways specific to the information being conveyed.

All details can be found at log classification with liblognorm.
