rsyslog Windows Agent Filter Conditions#
Filter conditions decide whether a rule matches an event.
What they are for#
Use filter conditions to separate the events you care about from the ones you do not want to forward, enrich, or route further.
Typical filter categories#
Global Conditions such as minimum wait time or event occurrence count
General Conditions such as source system or message content
Date / Time constraints for business-hour or schedule-based logic
Information Unit Type to separate event log, syslog, or file-based data
Syslog properties such as facility or priority
Event Log Monitor properties such as event ID, event source, severity, category, or user
Custom Property conditions for enriched or generated values
Recommended approach#
Start simple. First verify that the event reaches the intended ruleset. Then add the smallest set of filters needed to narrow the match.
