question on precedence 🔗 link

Hey,


Just curious about how "ignore" and "trigger" work together in the clientlocal.cfg file.  Let's say I have a log message like


2016-06-26 03:33:41 (myhost): [RED ALERT] File is missing?


and rules in clientlocal such that


log:/var/log/some.log:10240
ignore "File is missing"
trigger "RED ALERT"

Which takes precedence?  Is it just the order the rules are listed?

thanks

My read on the man page is that trigger always takes precedence.
