Hi all,

recently I included fibrechannel switches in my central syslog-ng. The switches often send empty line among important lines. I want to drop the empty ones. How can I achieve that by means of filter rules?

syslog-ng drops really empty lines, probably it still contains something, at least a timestamp. you can match empty messages using: filter f_empty { match("^$"); }; however you might still have some spaces in that in which case it becomes: filter f_empty { match("^ *$"); }; -- Bazsi
