Hello Thorsten,

I have had similar issues previously with Postgres errors. I found it
easier to have the log lines removed on the client side, saves the
logs from even reaching the xymon server.

This is going by memory as i am not in the office, but it should be
something like the following in the client-local.cfg ..

[sql0.my.net]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore ntpd

Note, that this will strip out any lines with ntpd in it, so you may
miss other issues related to ntpd.

Hope this is a help

Hi

I have some problems filtering entries from the msg test. I have several
hosts, running SuSE which often produce the following messages in
/var/log/messages:

Jan  7 08:09:22 s068c320 ntpd[4944]: kernel time sync error 0001

The hosts are named s068c320, s068c321, s068c322, ...

So I made the following entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the
Hobbitserver, to filter out these messages:

HOST=%s068c32*
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red   IGNORE=ntpd

It does not work. The messages come up as an error anyway.
Here is my whole hobbit-clients.cfg


HOST=s068310i
        DISK    %^/platform.*  IGNORE

HOST=s068310b
        DISK    %^/platform.*  IGNORE

HOST=s068a300
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red
IGNORE=%(smb_proc_readdir_long|peer)
        LOG     %.* warning          COLOR=yellow
#        DISK    * 10 15

HOST=s068c327
        DISK    /mnt           IGNORE

HOST=%s068c32*
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red   IGNORE=ntpd

HOST=s068c320,s068c321,s068c322
        PROC    "lmgrd -c" 1 1
        PROC    "pam_lmd" 1 1

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        DISK    /media/cdrom 101 101
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97

        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red
 IGNORE=%(read_socket_data|peer)
        LOG     %.* warning          COLOR=yellow

What's wrong there?
BTW: the smb_proc_readdir_log filter also does not work.

Thank you
Thorsten Erdmann
