[Logcheck-devel] Bug#277636: more...

[Simon Kelley]

Assuming that you are trying to write regexps for every message 
routinely output by dnsmasq, then you need to add ones of the form

dnsmasq[1721]: DHCPACK(eth2) 192.168.1.136 00:20:e0:5e:1d:d8 toffee

too, for people using the DHCP server part.

The first part is 
DHCPDISCOVER|DHCPOFFER|DHCPREQUEST|DHCPACK|DHCPRELEASE|DHCPINFO|BOOTP|DHCPNAK|DHCPDECLINE

The last two indicate potential problems, and might be left out 
depending on what your policy is.

The part in braces is an interface name and the last section (in this 
case machine name "toffee") can also be a short message which includes 
spaces.

Cheers,

Simon.
