  • Rsyslog filter to load module

    Posted on

    Hey everyone

    I'm facing a problem right now :

    I have a first machine (we will call it A), on which i've installed a Zabbix server, to monitor some other servers.

    I would like to monitor the syslog daemon. And then i found : omsnmp, a rsyslog module which is able to send SNMP traps to my Zabbix machine A.

    But, the problem is that, the syslog is too much important, and i don't want to send every message (information, warning, critical, ...)

    I would like to send only critical messages present in syslog.

    But, i don't have any parameter in the module omsnmp to specify the filter.

    I would like to know, using http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog%255Fconf%255Ffilter.html this documentation, if i'm able to do something like :

    if $severity== 'critical' then {
       *.* action(type="omsnmp" parameters ??")  - i load the module with parameters
    
    }
    

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Waiting for any answers, or tracks to follow

    Thanks,
    sleakerz
