Carries the MSGID header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.7.
This property belongs to the Message Properties group.
- Name:
msgid
- Category:
Message Properties
- Type:
string
Description¶
Carries the MSGID
header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.7. The
value identifies the semantic type of the event (for example an SMTP
transaction label) and RFC 5424 allows the NILVALUE (-
) when the
sender cannot provide one. When rsyslog processes messages that lacked a
syslog header at ingestion, the property contains the configured or
inferred MSGID value rather than an on-the-wire header.
Usage¶
template(name="example" type="list") {
property(name="msgid")
}
