I've updated the documentation to use this rule as default as 6/7 seems mostly useless noise.

Hi

It happened again and I actually had some free time in the calendar, so I gave it a go.

In the /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium there is this:

# observium RuleSets

ruleset(name="observium") {

action(type="omprog"

binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php"

template="observium")

stop

}

I have changed it to this:

ruleset(name="observium") {

if $syslogseverity <= '5' then action(type="omprog" binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php" template="observium")

stop

}

As one can probably glean from the stuff above, this filters out severity 6 (informational) and 7 (debug). Saving us from millions of rows added to the syslog table daily.

*Subject:* [Observium] Ignore priority 7 syslog

Hi

Some unfortunate soul enabled BGP debugging on a device and then forgot all about it.

I’m now trying to delete 76 million records from the syslog database..

Is there a way to ignore syslog messages with priority 7 in the syslog import in Observium? It’ll probably happen again someday.

Lars
