I am trying to create a child rule to 1002 (which I have silenced) to alert in certain cases. I can get the rule to work if I remove the regex portion; however, I don't want that as a permanent solution. My rule is below, and a sample log entry is below as well. Am I doing something wrong when it comes to matching based on regex?
<rule id="99999" level="10"> <if_sid>1002</if_sid> <match>+0000 ERROR TcpOutputFd - Connection to host=\S+ failed</match> <description>Unsilence 1002 for failed TcpOutputFd connections </description> </rule> Sample Log: 03-06-2018 21:53:42.475 +0000 ERROR TcpOutputFd - Connection to host=127.0.0.1:9997 failed -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ossec-list" group.
