Two samples of an event sequence: 1. a - a - a - b 2. a - a - b - a Result: in case 1 an alert is triggered, in case 2 not. Is this understanding correct? rainer ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: "Julian Yap" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: "rsyslog-users" <[email protected]> Cc: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gesendet: 31.07.08 21:59 Betreff: Re: [rsyslog] Alert when multiple repeated lines are found That's pretty much it for now. I've written Alerts for single line events. But for one particular event, it's only really a factor if it happens tree times in a row.
