errorfile¶

Specifies a file where omhttp records HTTP requests that return error responses.

This parameter applies to omhttp: HTTP Output Module.

Name:: errorfile
Scope:: input
Type:: word
Default:: input=none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: Not specified

Description¶

Here you can set the name of a file where all errors will be written to. Any request that returns a 4XX or 5XX HTTP code is recorded in the error file. Each line is JSON formatted with "request" and "response" fields, example pretty-printed below.

{
    "request": {
        "url": "https://example.com:443/path",
        "postdata": "mypayload"
    },
    "response" : {
        "status": 400,
        "message": "error string"
    }
}

It is intended that a full replay of failed data is possible by processing this file.

Input usage¶

module(load="omhttp")

action(
    type="omhttp"
    errorFile="/var/log/rsyslog/omhttp.error"
)
