debug¶

Enables per-action liblognorm debug tracing to rsyslog diagnostics or a configured debug file.

This parameter applies to mmnormalize: Log Message Normalization Module.

Name:: debug
Scope:: action
Type:: boolean
Default:: off
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.2608.0

Description¶

Action usage¶

action(type="mmnormalize"
       rulebase="/path/to/rules.rb"
       debug="on")

YAML usage¶

actions:
  - type: mmnormalize
    rulebase: /path/to/rules.rb
    debug: on
