[syslog-ng] Quick filter question

[Patrick H.]

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.
