Thanks for the response.

I read that statement also. I find myself deciding how to handle this.
If the 403 log entries are many, it will increase the size of the log files
considerably. This in turn increase the storage and log file processing requirements.
In my case, we want to remove the 403 entries to a particular folder. I consider
a 403 response to that particular URL to be noise. Of course, the amount of request
to the folder are significant enough to make us look into suppressing them.

Ok, I also read about this, but it did not click until now. Just pass everything
except for the lines we do not want. Thanks.
The other option is to filter at the logwatch level. Logwatch is the tool that
generate the reports about the 403 entries in the log file. I'll look into that documentation
to figure out how to filter there. Let see which one is easier to implement and maintain.
Again, thanks for the feedback.
