Add support for property based filtering of messages
When setting up syslogd to act as a remote server for other devices on a network you often want to group logs from a sender to a separate log file.
Similarly it would be interesting to be able to collect all logs from a network based on a RFC5424 property, like msgid, or locally sort logs based on daemon name, since most services use the LOG_DAEMON facility.
FreeBSD and NetBSD seems to have added support for this, the former seem to be more complete:
