Mailing List Archive: Property filter

Hello,

I've started exploring rsyslog 3.20.2

As I have been toying around and looking at the example configurations, I
have not been able to solve the following problem:

how can I use a property filter to select an output file AND format the
output using a defined template

For instance:

$template testtemplate,"%msg%"

:syslogtag, contains, "test" /tmp/test.log;testtemplate

Doesn't seem to be a supported syntax (it works when I leave off the
;testtemplate).

I'm sorry if this is obvious, but how can I filter based on properties AND
specify output formatting at the same time?

Thanks,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,

I just tried this out in lab. For me, it works. If I generate a message
with

logger -t test my message

the message is properly dispatched. I guess that the problem actually is
the tag, which I guess does not contain what you think it does (a
frequent problem with many senders). Try this template

$template testtemplate,"tag: '%syslogtag%', rawmsg: '%rawmsg%'\n"
*.* /some/file;testtemplate

and let us know the result.
