omjournal: Systemd Journal Output¶
| Module Name: | omjournal |
| Author: | Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com> |
Purpose¶
This module provides native support for logging to the systemd journal.
Configuration Parameters¶
Note
Parameter names are case-insensitive.
Action Parameters¶
Template¶
| type | default | mandatory | obsolete legacy directive |
|---|---|---|---|
| word | none | no | none |
Template to use when submitting messages.
By default, rsyslog will use the incoming %msg% as the MESSAGE field of the journald entry, and include the syslog tag and priority.
You can override the default formatting of the message, and include custom fields with a template. Complex fields in the template (eg. json entries) will be added to the journal as json text. Other fields will be coerced to strings.
Journald requires that you include a template parameter named MESSAGE.
Examples¶
Example 1¶
The following sample writes all syslog messages to the journal with a custom EVENT_TYPE field.
module(load="omjournal")
template(name="journal" type="list") {
constant(value="Something happened" outname="MESSAGE")
property(name="$!event-type" outname="EVENT_TYPE")
}
action(type="omjournal" template="journal")
