Hi,

typical rsyslog messages are as follow.....

2008-12-15T19:50:06.357213+01:00 lx4305 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.20.2" x-pid="13457" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] restart

I want to remove the bold caption marked in the message i.e. time & date stamped by rsyslog main module. its because i am passing the time & date from application itself.
i tried a lot, but i m stuck in msg.c, datetime.c, obj.c & queue.c....

i want the message as follow....

lx4305 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.20.2" x-pid="13457" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] restart... (without timestamp...)

is it possible...????

Thanks

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

You already asked this question.

Yes sir....
i understood wat u wrote in the reply...
just trying to put it into the design which we hv proposed for trading system.
actually as per the requirements, application should not open any network connection or disk file & write messages to it, its bcoz all applications are real time & the response required is in miliseconds....!!!
so to get rid of all this we planned to send all the messages via UDS to local rsyslog & local rsyslog will pass the message to the remote rsyslog...

and I am sorry, because just now i realised tht the question in this post is repeating at some extent with my previous question....
the only problem in my design is local rsyslog will put its timestamp, remote rsyslog once again will put the timestamp.
so was trying to remove date-time stuff from message.

thanks a lot.........

hi, if you use the default templates, no timestamp will be duplicated. If it is, something is wrong. Also note that you can totally customize any output by just using the proper template. HKS has provided the relevant doc link in the other post.

Also, for my education, can you please post a link to UDS...

Thanks,
Rainer

my bad.. I assume UDS = Unix Domain Sockets?

ya.... i got it....
after hving look at templates, i am using them in config files to format the custom message string....

once final code changes r done (mostly by tommorrow), i will post it...!!!

Thanks.....

attached is the code for imuxstream.c
