List template type¶

List templates build output from a sequence of constant and property statements. They suit complex substitutions and structure-aware outputs. .. summary-end

In list templates, the template is defined by a series of constant and property statements enclosed in curly braces. This format works well for structure-aware outputs such as ommongodb while also supporting text-based outputs. It is recommended when complex property substitutions are required because the syntax is clearer than a single string template.

An example list template:

template(name="tpl1" type="list") {
     constant(value="Syslog MSG is: '")
     property(name="msg")
     constant(value="', ")
     property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339" caseConversion="lower")
     constant(value="\n")
}
