Subject: RE: [rsyslog] excluding ip addresses

the thing you do not seem to understand is that you have not been able to
show us any log from the source that you are wanting to block.

--  I was showing you the rsyslog data from the client , not the server
side

This may be because the machine has multiple IP addresses and it's
arriving from a different IP, it may be because you are relaying the
message, so fromhost-ip has the relay IP
 -- Yes it is multi-homed

but from what you have shown, nothing is arriving at the rsyslog machine
from the IP you are wanting to block.

--  I see that as well

We are trying to help figure out what is happening with the logs, but we
don't know your network, so we are trying to help you see what's happening
so that you can tell us.

-- I understand I just cannot spend an inordinate amount of time on
something that's is really a luxury for us
-- Maybe I worded that reply and you got the wrong impression

I'm sorry that you feel that the troubleshooting is too much bother, but
any other syslog daemon is going to have the same problem. If you block by
source IP, but messages aren't arriving from that source IP, they won't be
blocked.

-- It is too much bother when I can grep -v those ip address out when
troubleshooting , it's just not that important to me I have other things
of more importance.
