How to filter repetitive events


#1 kdevmu

In case of DOS attack on a device, there would be a surge of logs in a very short time and all the events look simillar with change in one or two parameters source port/destination port/source ip/destination ip. In such case, can we filter such repeatitive logs in NXLOG agent? If yes, How to do that? I tried pm_norepeat but it didnt help. Any other alternate options?

pm_evcorr should be able to do that with the thresholded rule.
