Hi can anyone help me out with this error:

2021-09-02 11:30:35 ERROR pcre match_limit reached for regexp /(?-i:vd=")(?!X|Y|Z).*".*dstport=999/

does this mean that the regex is performing poorly and the engine is skipping the argument?

TIA.

Yes, it does. The pcre manual has more details on the match limit. You'll need to fix your regexp.
