Hi Adam, You have two options. If you have users A, B, C and D and you only want to get the alerts for users A and B. You can:
-Write a rule matching on these two users and ignore the others: <rule id="100456" level="0"> <if_sid>xyz</if_sid> <match>Ignoring for everything...</match> </rule> <rule id="100457" level="10"> <if_sid>100456</if_sid> <user>A|B</user> <match>Alert for users A and B</match> </rule> -Or write a rule to ignore for users C and D and alert for all others: <rule id="100456" level="10"> <if_sid>xyz</if_sid> <match>Alert everything...</match> </rule> <rule id="100457" level="0"> <if_sid>100456</if_sid> <user>C|D</user> <match>Ignore for users C and D</match> </rule> Makes sense? thanks, -- Daniel B.
