the best way is to put a filter on your central server that detects these messages that you don't care about and discards them (the 'stop' action on 7.x or the '~' action on earlier versions)

if you post a sample of the logs that you don't care about, we may be able to help you craft the filters.

as for your firewall problem, we would have to see what rules you are putting in your firewall, and how you are forwarding the messages. If you are using @ for your forwarding, you need to allow UDP 514 on your server, but once you do that it eill work.

Hello All,

[1]   I have configured my three machines for rsyslog exportation to
remote

       server.  My syslog file size has crossed over 150 MB which consists
of

       useless dhcpd requests. I want to know is there any reliable way to
stop

        dhcp logging ?   I googled but not found satisfactory solution.

[2]   I am unable to export logs on rSyslog server if I enable firewall.
Though I

      allow  syslog and required services port to allowed inbound traffic
policy

      I am unable to get logs on server. This could be possible iff I
disable the

      firewall. What is going wrong??

     Seeking for guidance,

     Thanks !
