ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate

Sets the default output template omgssapi applies when a forwarding action omits an explicit template.

This parameter applies to omgssapi: GSSAPI Syslog Output Module.

Name:

ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate

Scope:

module

Type:

string

Default:

RSYSLOG_TraditionalForwardFormat

Required?:

no

Introduced:

3.12.4

Description

Sets a new default template for the GSS-API forwarding action. When no template is specified in the forwarding rule, omgssapi falls back to this value. By default the module uses the built-in RSYSLOG_TraditionalForwardFormat template, matching the legacy syslog forward format. Legacy syntax configures this with directives such as $ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat.

Module usage

This module supports legacy directives and selector actions. Load it before setting the directive, then configure the forwarding action.

module(load="omgssapi")
$ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat
*.* :omgssapi:receiver.mydomain.com

Legacy names (for reference)

The following directive is the supported configuration interface for omgssapi.

  • $ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate — sets ActionGSSForwardDefaultTemplate for subsequent forwarding actions.
