Hi, I don't know much about regexps, but couldn't you cover this with the netmask() filter? Regards, Robert Phil.Newlon@wendysarbys.com wrote:
I am using this regular expression with Kiwi Syslog to distribute messages to several destinations based on the last number of the third octet (0-4 goes one place, 5-9 goes another).
"10\.\d+\.\d*[0-4]\."
This doesn't work with syslog-ng, of course, but based on my research of the archives, this should do the same thing because I've escaped the "\d"
match("10\.\\d+\.\\d*[0-4]\.")
Nope, I get nothing. I've shortened it to just
match("10\.\\d+")
and still get no matching messages.
This sort of works, but gives some unexpected results:
match("10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]*[0-4]\.")
The match("10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]*[0-4]\.") statement resulted in 'true' on this log message. I didn't expect a match on 10.87.48.4 from it because of the '8' as the last number of the third octet not matching '0-4'

So, I have two questions.....
What's wrong with this:
match("10\.\\d+\.\\d*[0-4]\.")
And why did this match("10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]*[0-4]\.") match this Oct 29 16:31:20 10.87.48.4 Kiwi_Syslog_Daemon Oct 29 16:31:20 10.87.48.4 MSWinEventLog 0 Security 71000 Thu Oct 29 16:31:17 2009 538 Security pos User Success Audit POS0408748 Logon/Logoff User Logoff: User Name: pos Domain: POS0408748 Logon ID: (0x0,0x4ACB69) Logon Type: 3 42921033
