Hi, This filter might be slow down logging of large amount of logs (100k+ EPS), but works fine: filter f_iptables { facility(kern) and message("IN=") and message("OUT="); }; filter f_messages { not facility(news, mail) and not filter(f_iptables); }; This example is from the default openSUSE syslog-ng configuration.

Hi. Thanks for reply. This will probably prevent logging iptables at all. I need to prevent logging numerous attempts to connect on some ports. In my example port 137.
