Custom tagging for AIX
Hi,
I am trying to add a custom tag message in front of the logs similar to rsyslog custom tagging, but couldn't find a module on tagging logs. The solution in te previous forum on tagging didn't work out.
https://nxlog.co/question/4006/nxlog-logstash-using-custom-tags
Solution in that forum : Exec $tag = 'hl7out';
Does custom tagging works for AIX ? Please provide a solution for it to reflect it in forwarded logs.
The short answer is, yes. Adding fields works for any OS. That is a built-in feature of the language NXLog uses.
The longer answer is: How you incorporate these fields will depend on your configuration.
Some modules will only use $raw_event by default and will need to be transformed or repackaged.
It may be helpful to show some of your config and what you are trying to accomplish.
