[Logcheck-devel] Bug#333456: logcheck: ignore mundane tftpd messages

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.41
Severity: wishlist


Hi, thanks for maintaining logcheck, it works quite well.  I run a
small network with some diskless nodes.  When they boot, they download
their kernels from TFTP.  Typically, I'll get two messages from
logcheck; one when the client connects, and one when they download a
file, e.g:

Oct 11 19:14:07 phoenix in.tftpd[15381]: connect from dickless.caboteria.org
(192.168.1.8)
Oct 11 19:14:07 phoenix tftpd[15382]: tftpd: trying to get file:
/tftpboot/lts/bzImage-2.6.4

I looked in the ignore rules for the proftpd server and it looks as if
those messages should be ignored (and I would prefer it if they were),
so I created a file called /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/tftpd with
the contents:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.tftpd\[[0-9]+\]: connect from
[._[:alnum:]-]+ \([0-9.]{7,15}\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ tftpd\[[0-9]+\]: tftpd: trying to get file:
.*$

and it appears that the messages are now ignored.  Please consider adding these
rules to the Debian package.

Thank you,
Toby Cabot

I've added the following rules to logcheck based on the log messages you
provided:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.tftpd\[[0-9]+\]: connect from
[._[:alnum:]-]+ \([.[:digit:]]+\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ tftpd\[[0-9]+\]: tftpd: trying to get
file: [^[:space:]]+$

They'll be included in the next release. In future, if you make local
additions to the logcheck rules you should prefix the filename with
'local-' to ensure they are not overwritten when upgrading.

Thanks for your bug report,
