[xymon] ignore certain things in a log file

[Kevin Kelly]

Having no luck in ignoring the following messages from /var/adm/messages

 

Aug 27 10:43:35 testserver    Corrupt label; wrong magic number

Have I tried the following:

LOG     %/var/adm/messages kern "IGNORE=%(corrupt label|wrong magic number)”

 

LOG %/var/adm/messages %kern IGNORE=%(ID 107833|corrupt label|wrong magic number)

 

LOG %/var/adm/messages %kern IGNORE=%ID 107833|corrupt label|wrong magic number

 

LOG %/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%(ID 107833|corrupt label|wrong magic number)

 

Any suggestions?

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) you might need the line to match to first, then what you'd like to ignore afterward.  Our ignore rules, which I believe work (notice the double quotes, the ?i is case insensitive): 

        LOG /var/adm/messages \ 
                %(?i)ERROR \ 
                "IGNORE=%(?i)(nres_gethostbyaddr|simple bind failed - Invalid credentials|please upgrade FCSM|WARNING|NOTICE|fctl|FCSM|SRS Proxy|xrx8825tlh2|ImportAcsError|AcsError|File \{.*\}, error 2|No such file or directory|ViewMgr|Bad file format|Exec call for FormTek|cache_trif_image|UserQry|DESKTOP_EDMOSRV.STARTUP|Error Level: Informational|sshd.*Authentication failed for|DESKTOP_EDMOSRV.STARTUP.*local0.error|httpd.*(modsecurity|password))" 

Spaces are okay.  For any rules you'd like to test, you can use the pcretool command (available on my CentOS box, maybe not in your environment).  Syntax is as follows: 

-bash-3.2$ pcretest 
PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006 

  re> /(corrupt label|wrong magic number)/ 
data> corrupt 
No match 
data> corrupt label 
 0: corrupt label 
 1: corrupt label 
data> wrong magic number 
 0: wrong magic number 
 1: wrong magic number 

Or for a case insensitive match: 

-bash-3.2$ pcretest 
PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006 

  re> /(?i)(corrupt label|wrong magic number)/ 
data> Corrupt label 
 0: Corrupt label 
 1: Corrupt label 
data> corrupt label 
 0: corrupt label 
 1: corrupt label 
data> asdf 
No match 
data> WRONG MAGIC NUMBER 
 0: WRONG MAGIC NUMBER 
 1: WRONG MAGIC NUMBER 
data> wrong magic number 
 0: wrong magic number 
 1: wrong magic number 

Good luck, hope that helps, 
Matt.

Could somebody tell me why this won’t work? 
  
HOST=testserver

Trying to ignore all lines in the messages file that contain those key words. 
  
Thanks
