I've updated the documentation to use this rule as default as 6/7 seems mostly useless noise.

Hi
It happened again and I actually had some free time in the calendar, so I gave it a go.
In the /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium there is this:
# observium RuleSets
ruleset(name="observium") {
action(type="omprog"
binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php"
template="observium")
stop
}
I have changed it to this:
ruleset(name="observium") {
if $syslogseverity <= '5' then action(type="omprog" binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php" template="observium")
stop
}
As one can probably glean from the stuff above, this filters out severity 6 (informational) and 7 (debug). Saving us from millions of rows added to the syslog table daily.

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.
