Where can I find information on the filter syntax?

Example,
filter by date
filter by service (IE. ssh)
filter by date and service

TIA!

• Custom phpLogCon configuration?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Hi,

it is supposed to find such information in our documentation wiki, but is still in the works.
You will find informations about the filtering and other things here:
http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/PhpLogCon

For the time being, try to use the search page, it will create filters for you automatically.

best regards,

Thanks!

Is there a way to get it to just show a message once?

IE. if i have crontab that runs every minute, it will display that 1440 times in a day.

I think there currently is no way to suppress duplicate messages. However, I think this feature would be useful.

Andre: I also think it would be easy to implement, at least a subset of it. We could easily suppress two messages immediately following one after another. This could simply be done at the stream driver layer, without the upper peer even knowing that it happens. I don't know if that would server this use case here well, but I think there are a couple of use cases that could benefit from such logic. What do you think - should we give it a quick try in the next release?

This should be indeed not a big problem to implement. I am going to add it on the todo list for the next minor features.

regards,
Andre

FYI: The feature to suppress duplicated messages has been added into phpLogCon 2.5.1 (devel) and can be downloaded from here:
