addLF¶

Ensures each written record ends with an LF by appending one when the message is missing it.

This parameter applies to omfile: File Output Module.

Name:: addLF
Scope:: module, action
Type:: boolean
Default:: module=off; action=inherits module
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.2410.0

Description¶

When enabled, the omfile action checks whether a rendered message already terminates with an LF (line feed) before writing it. If not, omfile appends an LF so that every record ends with one, regardless of the template that produced the message. The additional byte is added transparently even when compression or cryptographic providers are enabled.

When configured on the module, the setting becomes the default for all omfile actions that do not set addLF explicitly.

Module usage¶

module(load="builtin:omfile" addLF="on")

Action usage¶

action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/messages" addLF="on")
