In spite of the "flags(final)" in the log path, the unanted message still shows up in my other log paths. Have I misunderstood how to use "final"? Is there some other way to discard a message?
I don't know that I've ever had much luck with final either, I just don't log what I don't want: ############################################################### filter f_mail { facility(mail); }; filter f_not_brightmail { not program("bmifilter.*"); }; log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_not_brightmail); destination(syslog); }; log { source(src); filter(f_not_mail); filter(f_not_brightmail); destination(messages); }; ############################################################### As it stands I have to put "filter(f_not_brightmail);" in all my log statements, but that's not a problem for me (I build the config once and just push it out everywhere, so once a config works I never have to look at it again). -- Nate "Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18 000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers of the future may have only 1 000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1� tons." - Popular Mechanics, March 1949.
