[syslog-ng] Quick filter question

[Lay, James]

Hi Frank,

 

Thanks for the quick response…my last little bit is, I was under the impression that the message() directive automatically assumed the value was already in the message only, and value() wasn’t required?  Am I off on this?  Thanks again.

 

James

filter f_firewall {

               program("firewall" flags(ignore-case)) and 
               message("169\.254\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+" value("MESSAGE"));

Hey all! 
  
Real quick…trying to filter OUT firewall hits that have say…169.254.  Will this do the trick? 
  
filter f_firewall { 
        not program (firewall flags(ignore-case)); 
        and not message("169\.254\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"); 
}; 
  
Thanks all.
