You should not have the percentage % before the log file name and don't
use brackets...
LOG %/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%(ID 107833|corrupt label|wrong magic
number)
should read LOG /var/adm/messages IGNORE=%ID 107833|corrupt label|wrong magic number

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

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 LOG %/var/adm/messages kern "IGNORE=%(corrupt label|wrong
magic number)" Trying to ignore all lines in the messages file that contain those key
words. Thanks Kevin
