VBR Generate Syslog Event Filter XML File

Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3, it is possible to exclude specific events from being sent to the Syslog server. This can be done manually per event, or you can import an XML file with the events to be filtered.

Handling this task and finding the necessary information can be time-consuming. Executing this task manually is โ€œboringโ€ and error-prone, so I created a simple PowerShell script to make the process easier by generating an XML file based on your chosen filters. Whether filtering by event IDs, categories, or specific filter types like Info, Warning, or Error, this script makes this task more fun.๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ

For more details and examples of usage, check out the README in my GitHub repository.

Happy filtering - Itโ€™s the most wonderful time of the year to write scripts ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŽถ
