Not directly in Observium, but you can easily pre-filter them in the syslog-ng (or rsyslog) config, by simply not passing in, or blackholing, anything coming in at that level.
For syslog-ng, the relevant section of documentation is at syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.16 - Administration Guidehttps://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.16/administration-guide/51#TOPIC-956580. It should be fairly straightforward to follow. The equivalent rsyslog documentation is at RSyslog Documentation - rsysloghttps://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/configuration/filters.html and… well, good luck understanding that, I certainly don’t.

Hi
Some unfortunate soul enabled BGP debugging on a device and then forgot all about it.
I’m now trying to delete 76 million records from the syslog database..
Is there a way to ignore syslog messages with priority 7 in the syslog import in Observium? It’ll probably happen again someday.
