hmm, looking at the filtering documentation, I'm not seeing the eregex syntax you are trying to use. Instead I'm seeing:

re_match(expr, re) - returns 1, if expr matches re, 0 otherwise

so I think what you are trying to do would be:

if $programname == 'sudo' and $msg contains 'USER=root' and 
re_match($msg,'COMMAND=/bin/.*sh') then /my/logdirectory/logging/rootshell

just a quick check, try removing the entire eregex section just to make sure that our problem is in that clause

i.e. change it to:

if $programname == 'sudo' and $msg contains 'USER=root' then /my/logdirectory/logging/rootshell

before we spend too much time on this, let's make sure we are working the right problem.

Hi, David- I tried that, but I unfortunately received the same error message. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Hello, all-

The folks at the IRC channel on freenode referred me here. Can anyone tell
me what is wrong with my config file? Nothing is getting logged, and
rsyslog is throwing an error. Before anyone suggests it, I can't deviate
from the version in the Solaris repositories- otherwise I would do 7.4 .

The error:
rsyslogd: syntax error in expression [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2051 ]
rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.conf, line 16:"if
$programname == 'sudo' and $msg contains 'USER=root' and $msg eregex
"COMMAND=/bin/.*sh" then /adm/tmp/mdwilson-workspace/logging/rootshell"
rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions will be discarded
rsyslogd: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret master config file
'/etc/rsyslog.conf'. [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2124 ]

The config file:

  ##Global Directives
  $MaxMessageSize 8192
  $MainMsgQueueDiscardMark 200
  $MainMsgQueueDequeueBatchSize 0

  ##Load UDP and Solaris Logging modules
  $ModLoad imudp
  $ModLoad imsolaris

  ##Start UDP Logging for log4j
  $UDPServerAddress 127.0.0.1
  $UDPServerRun 514

  if $programname == 'sudo' and $msg contains 'USER=root' then /my/
  logdirectory/logging/allroot

  if $programname == 'sudo' and $msg contains 'USER=root' and $msg eregex
  "COMMAND=/bin/.*sh" then /my/logdirectory/logging/rootshell

if $programname == 'httpd' and $syslogfacility-text == 'local7' then /my/
  logdirectory/logging/apache

  local5.*    /my/logdirectory/logging/local5
  *.*     /my/logdirectory/logging/all
  *.*     /my/logdirectory/logging/all2

Thanks!

That version is picky about ' vs " try changing the " in that line to ' and see
if you keep getting the error.
