Need to drop logs in Syslog-ng

I wanted  to drop the log message in syslog-ng and i tried the below way to drop them but seems it doesn't work.  could you help if there is any other way. 

To skip the processing of a message without sending it to a destination, create a log statement with the appropriate filters, but do not include any destination in the statement, and use the final flag.

Example: Skipping messages

The following log statement drops all debug level messages without any further processing.

filter demo_debugfilter { level(debug); };
log { source(s_all); filter(demo_debugfilter); flags(final); };
