This line should not be filtered. See this discussion:
17:58 <@micah> madduck: I did actually wonder about this one: +{3} [
:[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ syslog-ng\[[[:digit:]]{1,5}\]: STATS: dropped
[[:digit:]]+$
17:58 <@micah> madduck: dont you want to know when you are dropping log lines?
17:58 <@madduck> aren't those just duplicates?
17:58 <@micah> so you can adjust your buffers? (the STATS dropped 0 lines of
course are useless)
17:59 <@micah> the STATS: dropped lines aren't duplicates, as far as I know...
but maybe you are referring to the logcheck lines?
17:59 <@madduck> actually, maybe i don't understand the origin of this line. i
just saw the bug...
18:00 <@micah> well, as far as I know, syslog-ng prints STATS: dropped $x every
once and a while if you are doing remote logging and it knows that it dropped
some bug lines
18:00 <@madduck> and that info is important?
18:00 <@micah> the problem was that syslog-ng also printed STATS: dropped 0
too, which was useless and annoying info
18:00 <@micah> well, that info tells you that you are not receiving some log
lines
18:01 <@micah> which does seem important
18:01 <@micah> because then you can tweak the syslog-ng.conf to increase the
buffer size or whatever you need to do to reduce dropped log lines
18:01 <@micah> the logcheck rule in stable actually had this line:
18:02 <@micah> syslog-ng\[.*\]: STATS: dropped 0
18:02 <@madduck> sure thing. alright, i'll surely revert to that.
Also see #376750.
