The context is /var/log/syslog monitoring, I have one system which is 
generating numerous messages which I don't want to receive alerts for.  I 
would prefer to avoid a rules-based approach because I'm just beginning to 
understand OSSEC and others with less knowledge than i need to be able to 
administer it as well.  I want to exclude certain messages from syslog 
evaluation and noticed the ability to use a command (such as 'grep -v ... 
???) under localfile.

Is this a reasonable solution to my requirement?
(If this is a reasonable solution)
     Do I also need to use the full_command and frequency options or will 
just specifying syslog as the log_format suffice?
     I assume that I will need to configure /var/log/syslog monitoring on 
each system since configuring it it agent.conf and having a different 
configuration on the specific system would produce conflicting 
configuration, correct?

Thanks for your help.
