What confuses me is > that it doesn't complain about *.warn just a few lines later. it's not the '*' in '*.emerg' that it's complaining about, it's the * as the destination. In this case you are wanting to send the message to all users, so the omusrmesg:* is the right thing to do, but it's a confusing syntax and there are going to be people who think a destination of * means to write it to all outputs. I'm guessing that that's why the warning message is there. > Also, why do we keep getting error messages that include urls that just > give us errors? > > Information > Error, could not find any events with these filters. > there was a new rsyslog website rolled out, and it looks like it may have broken some of these links David Lang _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
