icmplog.conf - configuration file for icmplog(8) .
SYNOPSIS
/etc/icmplog.conf
DESCRIPTION
The
icmplog(8) configuration file is used to specify the level at which ICMP packets of
a given type should be logged.
Log levels for packets are specified using the
`type [level]' rule described below.
A default log level can be specified with the
level keyword, which is used for packet types
which have not been explicitly assigned a level in the configuration.
The default syslog facility can be overriden with the
facility keyword.
The `except' keyword can be used to specify a list of hosts from which
connections should be ignored.
Lines beginning with `#' (shell-style comments) and blank lines in the
configuration file are ignored.
An example configuration is included with the source distribution and is
installed by default into
/etc/icmplog.conf
KEYWORDS
"except
Specify a list of hosts to ignore connection requests from. The list can be
comma or whitespace separated, and may contain fragments like `192.168.'
and `.foo.com'. If the fragment is numeric, it is compared with the IP of
the source host, otherwise the comparison is made with the resolved
hostname.
"level
Specify the default logging level. The level can be any one of IGNORE,
ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO and DEBUG.
"facility
Specify the default logging facility. The facility can be any one of USER,
DAEMON and LOCAL0-7.
"[type]
This is a generic rule which specifies the level at which packets of a
certain type are logged. The type can either be numeric, or one of the
keywords `echoreply', `destunreach', `quench', `redirect', `echo',
`timeout', `paramprob', `timereq', `timerep', `inforeq' or `inforep'.
The level, as above, is a
syslog.h symbolic constant.
