program()

Synopsis: program(regexp)

Description: Match messages by using a regular expression against the program name field of log messages.

source()

Synopsis: source id

Description: Select messages of a source statement. This filter can be used in embedded log statements if the parent statement contains multiple source groups — only messages originating from the selected source group are sent to the destination of the embedded log statement.

tags()

Synopsis: tag

Description: Select messages labeled with the specified tag. Every message automatically has the tag of its source in .source.<id_of_the_source_statement> format. This option is available only in syslog-ng 3.1 and later.

Example: Adding tags and filtering messages with tags
source s_tcp {
    network(ip(192.168.1.1) port(1514) tags("tcp", "router"));
};

Use the tags() option of the filters to select only specific messages:

filter f_tcp {
    tags(".source.s_tcp");
};

filter f_router {
    tags("router");
};

NOTE: The syslog-ng PE application automatically adds the class of the message as a tag using the .classifier.<message-class> format. For example, messages classified as "system" receive the .classifier.system tag. Use the tags() filter function to select messages of a specific class.

filter f_tag_filter {tags(".classifier.system");};

Dropping messages

To skip the processing of a message without sending it to a destination, create a log statement with the appropriate filters, but do not include any destination in the statement, and use the final flag.

Example: Skipping messages

The following log statement drops all debug level messages without any further processing.

filter demo_debugfilter { level(debug); };
log { source(s_all); filter(demo_debugfilter); flags(final); };
