Carries the PROCID header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.6.

This property belongs to the Message Properties group.

procid

Category:

Message Properties

Type:

string

Description

Carries the PROCID header field defined in RFC 5424 Section 6.2.6. The field has no fixed syntax; senders often use it for a process name, PID, transaction identifier, or other origin-specific token, and RFC 5424 allows the NILVALUE (-) when no value applies. When rsyslog ingests messages without a syslog header, this property holds the configured or inferred value for the source instead of a transmitted header field.

Usage

template(name="example" type="list") {
    property(name="procid")
}
