Greetings, I'm new to rsyslog and have very limited understanding knowledge on the subject, I've googled and read all of the online documentation that I could find, however I'm still struggling to find out if I can filter to exclude messages. I have a lot of auditd events that I don't need to send to my centralized collection server, such as the one below.
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1336411413.690:393395): arch=40000003 syscall=10 per=400000 success=yes exit=0 a0=89054c5 a1=0 a2=b7f6ddcc a3=64 items=2 ppid=20173 pid=20174 auid=100033 uid=0 gid=0 euid=2 suid=0 fsuid=2 egid=2 sgid=0 fsgid=2 tty=(none) ses=2648 comm="vasd" exe="/opt/quest/sbin/vasd" key="delete" Is there a way to filter these messages out, so that they're not sent to a syslog server or saved in the /var/log/audit log? Are there any good books on rsyslog that would be a good reference for a newbie? Any help or direction would be appreciated ! Thanks.. Larry E.
