At the moment this logic is not implemented in OSSEC , and i found it out when trying to do the same thing as you are .

I created a rule with that logic , only to see that it is not working .


I'd love to be told that i am wrong , as this will make the config and rules easier to maintain - but AFAIK , the "!" nullifier option is not with in the scope of the OSSEC rules loading logic .

Hi All,

Question about using the “!” in the local_rules.xml for the <hostname> tag, like the following…

<!-- Testing excluding specific files from specific servers -->

  <rule id="100500" level="0">

    <if_sid>550, 551, 552</if_sid>

    <match>mdas</match>

    <match>sgsdas</match>

<hostname>!sles10-docs</hostname> ---- thinking is that if any other server triggered with this rule the normal alert would take place, only on this server would the rule fire and the change be ignored

    <description>Ignoring changes</description>

  </rule>

We are using Ossec v2.0.
Thank you,
