Depends on what you are trying to achieve: :msg, contains, "some string" stop (on one line) will discard any message containing "some string". :msg, contains, "some other string" /var/log/messages & stop (across two lines) will cause any message containing "some other string" to be logged in messages and *then* discard it from further processing. IIRC if you omit the "& stop" then it is possible that the message will match further down the config and be logged in multiple places - possibly desirable for security related messages), so you could do something like this: :msg, contains, "some other string" /var/log/messages :msg, contains, "some other string" /var/log/secure & stop On 10 August 2015 at 02:19, Tom Horsley <horsley1953@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:44:51 -0700 > Doug H. wrote: > >> > So basically I replace the ~ with & stop ? >> >> I don't remember why I put it on the second line but I suspect I found >> something via google. > > Well, when I try it, rsyslogd won't start, so it hates > something about my file. > > I guess I'll stick with the deprecated syntax :-). > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
