it is a bit confusing, it's an artifact of the history of how features were
added over time, each being a small change to what existed before. If everything
had been thought of initially, there would be more consistancy (but also,
probably the project would never have gotten traction as the whole thing would
have been too massive an undertaking)

Sorry for the noise, I should have used my brain first. It is of course:
%$.SERVICE%
Thanks

Hello,
As so many before me, I am struggeling with the variables. Or
properties. More precisely, on how to address or evaluate them. A
simple example, that obviously does not work:
---
set $.SERVICE = "default";
if ($fromhost-ip == "192.168.1.12" or $fromhost-ip == "192.168.1.15")
then {
set $.SERVICE = "test";
}
template (name="DynServiceLogFile" type="string"
string="/var/log/$.SERVICE/%HOSTNAME%/system.log")
*.* action(type="omfile" dynaFile="DynServiceLogFile"
template="RSYSLOG_FileFormat")
---
This actually does create a literal "$.SERVICE" directory, but not
one that corresponds to the value of the variable, as of course
desired. Not exactly sure, what I am missing here.
Any hints to documentation that elaborated a little more on that? The
"Variable (Property) types" documentation page only talks about
setting them, but not on how to evaluate. Or my english lacks. Quite
possible as well
Thanks for any help or insight
Ede
