pri¶
Provides the undecoded PRI header value defined by RFC 5424 Section 6.2.1.
This property belongs to the Message Properties group.
- Name:
pri
- Category:
Message Properties
- Type:
string
Description¶
Contains the raw PRI
header value from RFC 5424 Section 6.2.1, which is
written as <PRIVAL>
in front of the syslog message. The integer inside
the angle brackets encodes facility and severity per PRIVAL = facility * 8
+ severity
. Facilities 0 through 23 and severities 0 through 7 follow the
tables in RFC 5424 (Tables 1 and 2). When rsyslog reads data without a
syslog header, the PRI
value is derived from input metadata or
configuration so downstream templates can still compute facility and
severity.
Usage¶
template(name="example" type="list") {
property(name="pri")
}
