[Logcheck-users] logcheck doesn't ignore messages matched by egrep -f
Hello, I have this message in syslog that I'd like to ignore: ==Apr 5 15:31:37 server77 upnpd[11728]: TimerThreadRemove failed! == I use these rules to ignore it in a file located in ignore.d.server (which contains some other rules which work): ==^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ upnpd\[[0-9]+\]: TimerThreadRemove failed!$ ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ upnpd\[[0-9]+\]:[[:print:]]+$ == The command egrep -f /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/rule /var/log/ syslog matches the message correctly but logcheck keeps sending me an email regarding this log entry. Is it a bug or did I miss something? Regards, Mr Lejeune

In the latter case, you'll have to store your rule under violations.ignore.d. -- Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- Unknown source
