Hi Hithendra, I came across this problem just recently, I guess that you want to handle Solaris logs with the standard Unix analysis ruleset, but the these tags are in the way. The only difference is, that I moved the tag to the end of the message (as patterndb does prefix matching, these don't bother my patterns but are still there). My rewrite rule is the following: rewrite r_solaris { #move the solaris header to the end of the message #to work with linux patterndb subst("(\[ID [0-9]* [a-z]*\.[a-z]*\])\ " "" value("MESSAGE") type("pcre") flags(store-matches)); subst("$" " $1" value("MESSAGE") type("pcre")); }; If you don't want to move it (backreferencing is quite slow and resource-intensive), you could just use this untested version: rewrite r_solaris { subst("\[ID [0-9]* [a-z]*\.[a-z]*\]\ " "" value("MESSAGE") type("pcre") flags(dont-store-matches)); }; HTH, Balint On 06/15/2012 05:39 AM, Balla, Hithendra (EXT-Other - IN/Bangalore) wrote:
Hi all,
We have the followinglog
2012-06-15T09:00:26+05:30 kddi-cm-1-sb 4/6*[ID 800047 auth.info]*Accepted publickey for xyz
We wanted to replace*[ID 800047 auth.info]*with*empty string*(i.e."")and print the following
2012-06-15T09:00:26+05:30 kddi-cm-1-sb 4/6 Accepted publickey for xyz
So we have used the below re-write with subst. But this is not workingin*syslog-ng 3.4.0alpha2*.
rewrite rw_msg{*subst*("\\[.*\\]", "", value("MESSAGE"));};
Can somebody help out here?
Thanks
Hithendra
