I need your help with syslog columns.
Currently I have a script as follows: (extract)
A typical syslog message would be as follows:
Oct 22 07:35:14 hajsw202-0202.nls.jlrint.com 21453: Oct 22 06:35:14: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/19, changed state to down
The above Cut command is cutting fields 4 and 9 onwards, which would be the long hostname and error type and it's message content.
However, as I've recently added a few more message types for the script to extract;
i.e. Oct 21 15:00:49 covlsw01.nls.jlrint.com 2010 Oct 21 14:00:49 GMT +00:00 %SECURITY-1-PORTSHUTDOWN:Port 7/28 shutdown due to security violation
This new message has different field arrangements, where field 9 begins "GMT" rather than %SECURITY-1-PORTSHUTDOWN.
How can I update the script to say; if the message type is %SECURITY-1-PORTSHUTDOWN do, cut field 11 onwards instead of field 9 as at present?

Hi all,
I've just thought that it may be better if I simply get the script to extract from the "%" character, as all of the messages begins with the "%" character when displaying the message type. So if I just cut from the "%" character then this should do it.
The question is. how do I cut or extract just field 4 and the "%" character onwards?
Regards, Wynford
