Would anyone happen to know, or perhaps created their own method, to call an external script on a string match? Something similar to the example below?

Code: Select all

if $syslogfacility-text == 'local0' and $msg startswith 'DEVNAME' and not ($msg contains 'error1' or $msg contains 'error0') then 'run_my_script_somehow'

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

You can use the "shell execute" action together with this rule. See: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-rsyslog_conf.html search for "shell execute" to find the right section.

Wow.. batting 1000 with that one. It's right in rsyslog_conf.html Thank you for the direction.

No problem. The doc structure is, umm, not optimal
