[syslog-ng] syslog-ng- filter() problem

Hi,

I am collecting traps and syslog data

Yes they are being sent to the right place.

Yes the destinations exist and the permissions are correct

I am running Gentoo

And syslog-ng version- 1.6.5-r2

 

The problem is: 

log { source(src); filter(f_snmptrap); filter(f_ipbb1); filter (f_ipbb2);
destination(ipbb_traps); };

 

if I only have : 

log { source(src); filter(f_snmptrap); destination(ipbb_traps); };

or 

log { source(src); filter(f_ipbb1); destination(ipbb_traps); };

 

but when I add more filters it give me nothing

Why?

Are you collecting traps or syslog data ? 

 

Tcpdump is your friend  - are the syslog speakers speaking to the right
place ?

Is anything else being logged on the box from other sources?

 

Does the destination exist and permissions correct 

 

What os ? Which versions of syslog-ng

Hi,

I am trying to collect traps from these two networks.
66.163.79.0/255.255.255.128 and 64.251.65.224/255.255.255.240

I don't understand why when I do this it doesn't collect anything

Any ideas/.??

source src{unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

filter f_messages { not level(warn); };

log { source(src);  filter(f_messages); destination(messages); };

 

#filter snmptrap

filter f_snmptrap { level(warn); };

 

#testing filters for the different networks

filter f_ipbb1 {netmask("66.163.79.0/255.255.255.128"); };

filter f_ipbb2 {netmask("64.251.65.224/255.255.255.240"); };

 

destination ipbb_traps { file("/store/ipbb/traps/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY"); };

 

log { source(src); filter(f_snmptrap); filter(f_ipbb1); filter (f_ipbb2);
destination(ipbb_traps); };
