template¶

Selects the rsyslog template used to render each message before omhttp submits it.

This parameter applies to omhttp: HTTP Output Module.

Name:: template
Scope:: input
Type:: word
Default:: input=StdJSONFmt
Required?:: no
Introduced:: Not specified

Description¶

The template to be used for the messages.

Note that in batching mode, this describes the format of each individual message, not the format of the resulting batch. Some batch modes require that a template produces valid JSON.

Input usage¶

template(name="tpl_omhttp_json" type="list") {
   constant(value="{")   property(name="msg"           outname="message"   format="jsonfr")
   constant(value=",")   property(name="hostname"      outname="host"      format="jsonfr")
   constant(value=",")   property(name="timereported"  outname="timestamp" format="jsonfr" dateFormat="rfc3339")
   constant(value="}")
}

module(load="omhttp")

action(
   type="omhttp"
   template="tpl_omhttp_json"
)
