Info Description
At times, reports can fill up with a long list of unwanted messages that can overwhelm the ZMC database. To suppress such unwanted lines, follow these steps:
In the application-tool section of the “/etc/zmanda/zmc/zmc_aee/zmc_user_dumptypes” file, add the unwanted messages:
The section in question should look like this when you are done:
define application-tool "app_amgtar_user" {
property append "ignore" "No such file or directory$"
property append "ignore" "file changed as we read it$"
property append "ignore" "socket ignored$"
# property "NO-UNQUOTE" "yes" # Allow backslashes (and certain other characters) in filenames. Requires tar 1.16+.
}
The above definition will ignore the unwanted messages in the reports such as “No such file or directory” The $ character denotes the end of a string to match. Matching is done via POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax.
