Re: [syslog-ng] Quick filter question

8 Nov 2011

      Excellent...thanks so much Patrick.  This is working nicely.  At some
point in time I may want to add in the firewalls "Deny" statement, but
for now this will work.  Thanks again.

That might work, but what the order of operations is on boolean
operations (and/or) is, is unclear. In situations like that its always
best to explicitly force the order yourself.

filter f_firewall {
        not (
            program ("firewall" flags(ignore-case))
            and (
                message("192\.168\.")
                or message("169\.254\.")
            )
        );
};

Ah...so I need or then yes?

filter f_firewall {
        not (
        program ("firewall" flags(ignore-case))
        and message("192\.168\.")
        or message("169\.254\.")
        );
};

How's that look?

James

P.S. And thank you :)

I'm not sure if semicolons are valid in filter rules, but technically
valid or not, they shouldnt be there so try removing them.
The filter should look like
filter f_firewall {
        not (
        program ("firewall" flags(ignore-case))
        and message("192\.168\.")
        and message("169\.254\.")
        );
};

Note though, that filter will only trigger if both 192.168. and 169.254.
are in the same log entry. Unless that IP address you masked out with
"x"s is 169.254 it wont trigger.

Hey again all.

So...I'm still having issue with this..not sure why.  Here's the raw
log:

Nov  8 11:13:38 x.x.x.x firewall: Deny tcp 20 125 x.x.x.x 192.168.0.15
9517 17777 offset 7 S 3371425811 win 64 

And from my syslog-ng.conf

filter f_firewall {
        not (
        program ("firewall" flags(ignore-case));
        and message("192\.168\.");
        and message("169\.254\.");
        )
};

log {
        source(s_local);
        filter(f_dumb);
        filter(f_firewall);
        destination(d_file);
        destination(other);
};

Any hints as to why these aren't matching?  Should I not be \ing the
periods?  Thanks all.

Hey all! 

Real quick...trying to filter OUT firewall hits that have say...169.254.
Will this do the trick? 

filter f_firewall { 
        not program (firewall flags(ignore-case)); 
        and not message("169\.254\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"); 
}; 

Thanks all.
