inputname¶

Identifies the rsyslog input module instance that produced the message.

This property belongs to the Message Properties group.

Name:: inputname
Category:: Message Properties
Type:: string

Description¶

The name of the input module that generated the message (e.g. “imuxsock”, “imudp”). Note that not all modules necessarily provide this property. If not provided, it is an empty string. Also note that the input module may provide any value of its liking. Most importantly, it is not necessarily the module input name. Internal sources can also provide inputnames. Currently, “rsyslogd” is defined as inputname for messages internally generated by rsyslogd, for example startup and shutdown and error messages. This property is considered useful when trying to filter messages based on where they originated - e.g. locally generated messages (“rsyslogd”, “imuxsock”, “imklog”) should go to a different place than messages generated somewhere else.

Usage¶

template(name="example" type="list") {
    property(name="inputname")
