Log Filters
***********

Filters, configured in :file:`logging.config` allow you to create rules which
may be applied to log definitions, limiting the entries included in the log
output. This may be useful if your |TS| nodes receive many events which you
have no need to log or analyze, or you wish to establish separate logs with
their own rotation policies to more rapidly perform log analysis for a subset
of events.

Configuration options are covered in detail in the
:ref:`admin-custom-logs-filters` section of :file:`logging.config`, so this
page is currently left as a reference to the feature's existence.
