Hi:
   currently I already have similar rsyslog settings to
/var/log/samba/audit.log.
debian or rhel, both goto to journald to rsyslog to the file. it makes
huge useless data at journald.  I also need to take care of rate
limiting settings both for journald and rsyslog. but it seems the only
way to filter the log data.  is there something I can do with the
samba direct writing configuration:

log level = 1 full_audit:1@/var/log/samba/audit.log

can I piple data to custom script so I can filter out the redundant
"../../source3/modules/vfs_full_audit.c:640(do_log)" at every entry ?
