Not directly in Observium, but you can easily pre-filter them in the syslog-ng 
(or rsyslog) config, by simply not passing in, or blackholing, anything coming 
in at that level.

For syslog-ng, the relevant section of documentation is at syslog-ng Open 
Source Edition 3.16 - Administration 
Guide<https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.16/administration-guide/51#TOPIC-956580>.
  It should be fairly straightforward to follow.
The equivalent rsyslog documentation is at RSyslog Documentation - 
rsyslog<https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/configuration/filters.html> and… 
well, good luck understanding that, I certainly don’t.

Subject: [Observium] Ignore priority 7 syslog

Hi

Some unfortunate soul enabled BGP debugging on a device and then forgot all 
about it.

I’m now trying to delete 76 million records from the syslog database..

Is there a way to ignore syslog messages with priority 7 in the syslog import 
in Observium? It’ll probably happen again someday.


Lars
