All

I am having two issues with syslog, and wonder if someone could give me some guidance.

Firstly, syslog filters seems a little inconsistent, for example:-

This works - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'Cannot statfs /run/user/1000/gvfs';

This doesn’t - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'PERMISSION';

Unfortunately, the custom filters I need don’t work, any thoughts?

And secondly, Observium appears to randomly stop reporting syslog records from clients.  I have followed some of the suggestions from the mail list and determined that the missing records do appear in the debug.log but not in the console, and I am at a loss where else to look.

I am using Syslog-NG, which to the best of my knowledge is correctly configured, and Observium CE 0.15.6430.

Thanks in advance    

Kind regards
