Bazsi,

I am trying to suppress messages sent to the database and sendmail. I have configured suppress(900) globally and within my destinations and it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have this working? I am getting flooded with emails when there are problems on my firewalls or routers.

destination d_mysql { pipe("/var/log/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, datetime, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL', '$TAG', '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n") template-escape(yes) suppress(900)); };

Or

destination mail-alert-perl { program("/usr/local/bin/mail_logger.pl" suppress(900)); };

also tried

destination mail-alert-perl { program("/usr/local/bin/mail_logger.pl") suppress(900); };

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

suppress() only filters duplicates, and is not a general ratelimit. -- Bazsi
