app-name¶
Carries the APP-NAME header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.5.
This property belongs to the Message Properties group.
- Name:
app-name
- Category:
Message Properties
- Type:
string
Description¶
Carries the APP-NAME
header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.5,
which identifies the originator application with up to 48 printable
characters. RFC 5424 permits the NILVALUE (-
) when an application
cannot supply a value. When rsyslog receives events without a native
syslog header (for example from imfile inputs or JSON
payloads), this property reflects a configured default or an inferred
placeholder instead of a transmitted header value.
Usage¶
template(name="example" type="list") {
property(name="app-name")
}
