| Linux – rsyslog: parsing and splitting message fields |
Until now I hadn’t used the options and features rsyslog comes with. Let me show a simple example I have done today. This is an example log line rsyslog has received from iptables (I have configured iptables to log certain connections attempts to identify and save devices with malware):
