tag

Specifies the tag prefix that identifies messages for processing.

This parameter applies to mmsnmptrapd: snmptrapd message modification module.

Name:

tag

Scope:

next legacy action

Type:

word (see Rsyslog Parameter String Constants)

Default:

action=snmptrapd

Required?:

no

Introduced:

at least 5.8.1, possibly earlier

Description

Tells the module which start string inside the tag to look for. The default is snmptrapd. Note that a slash (/) is automatically appended to this tag for matching. You should not include a trailing slash unless you specifically need to match a double slash. For example, setting $mmsnmptrapdTag tag/ results in a check for tag// at the start of the tag field.

Legacy directive usage

module(load="mmsnmptrapd")
$mmsnmptrapdTag snmptrapd
**:mmsnmptrapd:

Supported directive

This legacy directive is the supported way to configure this setting. It is not accepted as a module() or action() parameter. The setting resets after the next :mmsnmptrapd: action is constructed.

• $mmsnmptrapdTag
