Syslog filtering

borgermeister

Hi

I have set up all my switches to log to syslog on Solarwinds. How can I create a filter that excludes entries that I don't want to see?

I know that I can lower the logging from Notifications to Warning but I would rather send Notifications to syslog and filter out messages I don't want to seech

">borgermeister,

You cannot create a single rule to suppress all alertst that you "do not want to see".  Instead, you need to create individual rules for every alert that you do not want.   Also, make sure that you place all the alert suppression rules at the top.  Else, you might accidentally get some alerts that you meant to suppress.  By the way, you may want to check out the training video at:

The training is very good and should help you better understand how to do what you wish.  Best wishes.
