Package: syslog-summary
Version: 1.12
Severity: minor
In the man page, the definition of the parameter "-i" is:
Read regular expressions from filename, and ignore lines in the
logfiles that match them.
But this is wrong: the lines ignored are not the ones in the
logfiles, but the ones in program's output. At least, that's what I've
found through experimentation and this section in the code (starting at
line 117):
--- cut ---
while line:
md5obj.update(line)
linecount = linecount + 1
date, rest = split_date(line)
if date:
found = pidpat.search(rest)
if found:
rest = found.group(1)+": "+rest[found.end():]
count = 1
repeated = None
if REPEAT:
repeated=repeatpat.search(rest)
if repeated and previous:
count = int(repeated.group(1))
rest = previous
if should_be_ignored(rest):
ignored_count = ignored_count + count
--- cut ---
The line from the log file is first split and parsed, and then
the regexps from the ignore file are used on the part of the line that
is showed in syslog-summary's output. Hit me with a cluebat if I've not
understood the code and should shut up :-)
So, the documentation should state that difference, or the
program should behave like the documentation says and filter the lines
from the log files. IMHO the latter would be better: I could use
logcheck's regexp files instead of having to code my own, and besides
the program could be a little faster (because it wouldn't need to parse
the line first and then check the regexps).
