Nov 12, 2021Re: How to configrue syslog include "space"
Updated...OK: apparently somewhere in the last 10 years since I looked at syslog-ng filters last, the "match" was deprecated for "message". So here's how I tested, and the results:
sys syslog {
include "
filter f_local0 {
facility(local0) and not message(\"abc abc\");
};
filter f_local0_custom {
facility(local0) and message(\"abc abc\");
};
destination d_customlog {
file(\"/var/log/customlog\" create_dirs(yes));
};
log {
source(local);
filter(f_local0_custom);
destination(d_customlog);
};
"
}
Then I slapped this iRule on a test virtual and hit it from my desktop:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
log local0. "abc abc"
log local0. "abc123 abc123"
HTTP::respond 200 content "<html><body>sylog test initiating...</body></html>"
}
And here are my logs:
[root@ltm3:Active:Standalone] config # grep abc /var/log/ltm
