Defined Type: rsyslog::template::string

Defined in:
manifests/template/string.pp

Summary

Add template strings to the rsyslog configuration

Overview

You’ll need to write the entire template line due to the complexity of the rsyslog configuration parameters.

Leading spaces will be removed.

Examples:

Template String

rsyslog::template::string { 'example':
  $content => '/var/log/hosts/%HOSTNAME%/example.log'
}

### Produces:

template(name="example" type="string" string="/var/log/hosts/%HOSTNAME%/example.log")

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    The literal name of the “file“ (not file path) that will be used

  • string (String) —

    The rsyslog template string that you wish to add to the system

    • This is fed, without formatting, directly into the target file
