It looks like many of the "Allowed Input Range" values have a bunch of junk after them. It seems to affect mostly "type: int", but there are others as well. From section 5.1.12, syslog_port: Type: int Allowed input range: 0,99999999999){}.:-]+f From section 5.2.12 checksum_alert_time: Type: int Allowed input range: 0,60,false,yes,no,on,offLOCAL0,LOG_LOCAL1,LOG_LOCAL2,LOG_LOCAL3,LOG_LOCAL4,LOG_LOCAL5,LOG_LOCAL6,LOG_LOCAL7 (yes, those are syslog facility types...)
