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); };

Global options of syslog-ng PE

Configuring global syslog-ng options

The syslog-ng application has a number of global options governing DNS usage, the timestamp format used, and other general points. Each option may have parameters, similarly to driver specifications. To set global options, add an option statement to the syslog-ng configuration file using the following syntax:

options { option1(params); option2(params); ... };
Example: Using global options

To disable domain name resolving, add the following line to the syslog-ng configuration file:

options { use-dns(no); };

For a detailed list of the available options, see Global options. For important global options and recommendations on their use, see Best practices and examples.
