Hi all,
I was wondering..
When I create a filter, if I specify a priority level, for example 'err' does that also imply all facility levels greater than err are also matched ? On the face of it this doesnt seem likely given I'm filter matching, but looking at the syslog-ng.conf.SunOS file in contribs/ and other examples this is what it can only seem to be saying.
For example for /dev/console the example filter is
{ level(err) or (level(notice) and facility (auth, kern)); };
I'm hardly going to leave out everything above err, or notice for auth and kern if I am to send important messages to the console.
This will get everything at the error level, and auth.notice and kern.notice. If you desire err and above, level(err..emerg) is what you are after. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- __o Bradley Arlt Email: arlt@cpsc.ucalgary.ca o__ _ \<_ WWW: www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~bdarlt _>/ _ (_)/(_) -Eat well, sleep peacefully, drink lots, and ride like hell.
