Hey again all.

So…I’m still having issue with this..not sure why.  Here’s the raw log:

Nov  8 11:13:38 x.x.x.x firewall: Deny tcp 20 125 x.x.x.x 192.168.0.15 9517 17777 offset 7 S 3371425811 win 64

And from my syslog-ng.conf

filter f_firewall {

        not (

        program ("firewall" flags(ignore-case));

        and message("192\.168\.");

        and message("169\.254\.");

        )

};

log {

        source(s_local);

        filter(f_dumb);

        filter(f_firewall);

        destination(d_file);

        destination(other);

};

Any hints as to why these aren’t matching?  Should I not be \ing the periods?  Thanks all.

James

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.
