Is there any way in syslog-ng to stop logging of message once it has been logged to "a destination".

I am getting say ftpd messsages logged in ftpd.log file as well as my catch all entries I want to configure things such that they get logged only once.

1. use negative filters 2. in the 1.5.x tree you have the following flags on destinations you could use for this purpose: <entry>final</entry> <entry> This flag means that the processing of log statements ends here. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that matching messages will be stored once, as they can be matching log statements processed prior the current one. </entry> </row> <row> <entry>fallback</entry> <entry> This flag makes a log statement 'fallback'. Being a fallback statement means that only messages not matching any 'non-fallback' log statements will be dispatched. </entry> </row> <row> <entry>catchall</entry> <entry> This flag means that the source of the message is ignored, only the filters are taken into account when matching messages. </entry> </row> -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
