reportFailures¶

Logs a warning when the program signals an error while confirming messages.

This parameter applies to omprog: Program integration Output module.

Name:: reportFailures
Scope:: action
Type:: boolean
Default:: action=off
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.38.0

Description¶

Specifies whether rsyslog must internally log a warning message whenever the program returns an error when confirming a message. The logged message will include the error line returned by the program. This parameter is ignored when confirmMessages is set to “off”.

Enabling this flag can be useful to log the problems detected by the program. However, the information that can be logged is limited to a short error line, and the logs will be tagged as originated by the ‘syslog’ facility (like the rest of rsyslog logs). To avoid these shortcomings, consider the use of the output parameter to capture the stderr of the program.

Action usage¶

action(type="omprog"
       confirmMessages="on"
       reportFailures="on")

Notes¶

Legacy documentation referred to the type as binary; this maps to boolean.
