Format of alert messages

Once content-based alerts have been created, syslog-ng Store Box(SSB) will send alert messages to the configured targets.

The alert email's subject line will follow this format:

Alert: [myalert][mylogspace]

Alert messages will be presented in the following format:

Alert: There were at least 10000 matches between Mon 18 Apr 2016 10:45:38 CEST and Mon 18 Apr 2016 10:45:43 CEST on
 * logspace: "<mylogspace>"
 * alert: "<myalert>"
 * search expression: "<mysearchexpression>"

To review these matches on your SSB appliance, see:

from=1460976338&to=1460976343&search_expression=mysearchexpression

Note: You will not receive a new alert message for a cooldown period of 1 minute for this alert.

Note that the contents of the log messages are not shared in the alert message. A URL is provided to direct users to their SSB appliance.

Additional tools

The syslog-ng Store Box(SSB) appliance provides additional tools to obtain information about log messages that can come from external sources. They are as follows:

  • Pattern database: You can use the pattern database of SSB to alert on certain log messages. If you are using the pattern database for such purposes and you wish to check the history of the alerts raised by SSB, then refer to Log message alerts.

  • Reports: SSB periodically creates reports on processed traffic. If you wish to retrieve information available in such reports, see Reports.

Searching the internal messages of SSB

The syslog-ng Store Box(SSB) appliance allows you to search, filter, and export internal messages. These internal messages contain the logs created by SSB itself (not the messages collected from external sources), including log messages of the SSB appliance, configuration changes, notifications, alerts, and dashboard statistics.

Log messages of the SSB appliance:
  • All available log messages are listed in the local logspace in Search > Logspaces.

Alerts and notifications:
  • If you use the pattern database of SSB to alert on certain log messages, then a history of the alerts is available at Search > Alerts.

Using the internal search interfaces

The internal search interfaces that allow you to browse and filter the configuration changes, alerts, notifications, and reports of syslog-ng Store Box(SSB) are located across various pages. The way the user interface works, however, is uniform across all these pages. This section walks you through the main functionalities that are available to you when browsing internal messages.

The example in AAA > Accounting — An example of an internal search interface shows the AAA > Accounting page but all the search interfaces listed under Configuration changes:, Alerts and notifications:, and Dashboard statistics and reports: have similar features and look and feel.
