Syslog Receiver: /usr/sbin/cron[31745]: %CRON-6: (root) CMD (newsyslog)

I use PRTG syslog server, and I received many notification messages as

"/usr/sbin/cron[31745]: %CRON-6: (root) CMD (newsyslog)"

It's difficult for me to monitor needed messages. How can I remove those.

The configuration is here:

set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 any any
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 authorization info
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 user notice
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 pfe warning
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 conflict-log info
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 change-log info
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 interactive-commands info
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 source-address 10.1.1.1
set system syslog host 192.168.192.1 explicit-priority

Many thanks

Edit: Improved formatting.

Hello,
we appreciate your contact.

Within PRTG's Syslog Receiver Sensor it's possible to configure an Include Filter based on one of the available Filter Rule definition.

You can use the severity[], facility[], appname[], ... among other supported filters to set-up your sensor and filter out unwanted messages. You can most likely also configure which traps your Linux System will send, but please be aware that we can't provide assistance regarding that configuration, please check your distro's man pages for further details on that matter.

Best Regards,
