    Hello There,


    I have problem with filtering syslog messages on rsyslog, which is installed on Debian 6. I want to implement regex filtering on syslog messages and then write them in database. Currently database is working successfully. I was unable to operate regex filtering. Hire is my configuration file:

    Code:
    # /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog.
    #
    # For more information see
    # /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html

    #### RULES ####
    ###############
    
    
    :msg, regex, "ASA-7" ~
    
    *.* mmysql:127.0.0.1,Syslog,rsyslog,password
    
    #
    # First some standard log files. Log by facility.
    #
    auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
    *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog

    daemon.* -/var/log/daemon.log

    lpr.* -/var/log/lpr.log
    mail.* -/var/log/mail.log
    user.* -/var/log/user.log
    
    #
    # Logging for the mail system. Split it up so that
    # it is easy to write scripts to parse these files.
    #
    mail.info -/var/log/mail.info
    mail.warn -/var/log/mail.warn
    mail.err /var/log/mail.err
    
    #
    # Logging for INN news system.
    #
    news.crit /var/log/news/news.crit
    news.err /var/log/news/news.err
    news.notice -/var/log/news/news.notice
    
    #
    # Some "catch-all" log files.
    #
    *.=debug;\
    auth,authpriv.none;\
    news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
    *.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
    auth,authpriv.none;\
    cron,daemon.none;\
    mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
    
    #
    # Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.
    #
    
    
    #
    # I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual
    # console I usually leave idle.
    #
    #daemon,mail.*;\
    # news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
    # *.=debug;*.=info;\
    # *.=notice;*.=warn /dev/tty8
    
    # The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
    # you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
    #
    # $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
    #
    # NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
    # busy site..
    #
    daemon.*;mail.*;\
    news.err;\
    *.=debug;*.=info;\
    *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole
    
    So the problematic rules are following:

    :msg, regex, "ASA-7" ~
    *.* mmysql:127.0.0.1,Syslog,rsyslog,password

    I want to delete all syslog massages which contains ASA-7 in body, and write all others to database. With current configuration ASA-7 messages ara swill written in database.

    Hire is example of syslog message that rsyslog is receiving from cisco ASA:

    Code:
    %ASA-7-302016: Teardown UDP connection 55604368 for Outside:2.2.2.2 [More Information] {1.1.1.1 [More Information] } /53 to DMZ-2:host1/18178 duration 0:00:00 bytes 110
