I use a different approach: I changed my iptables rules to use |
| 16 |
the ulog (user-space logging) target and I run ulogd. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The main advantage and the reason why I use that is that iptables |
| 19 |
logging messages tend to clutter up the kernel message log if not |
| 20 |
treated specially. Also, they can be an annoyance on the console |
| 21 |
(yes I know about console_loglevel). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Some also use ulog to put their iptables logs into databases |
| 24 |
which can then be searched in more complex ways than a simple |
| 25 |
grep would allow. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As usual, YMMV. |
