Mailing List Archive: syslogtag: only log daemon name, without the [pid]

Hello,

I have defined my own template for logging:

$template long-iso,"%$NOW% %timereported:8:15% %syslogtag% %msg%\n"

Which logs in following format:

2021-08-14 05:55:31 sshd[1856]: message

How can I make the %syslogtag% to only log daemon name, without the
[pid] part ?

I am using rsyslog 8.1901 on Debian 10

thank you,

change syslogtag to programname (and you may need to add a : after the vriable)
