Subject: Re: [rsyslog] pri-text property incorrectly appending pri?
I think there should be some way of getting the text without the
numeric
value as well.
I actually don't understand why anyone would want both. If you are
having
a system process it that understands the numbers, you don't need the
text.
The text is there to make it human friendly, and the numbers sure don't
help that.
changing the exiting property to only be the text may break someone's
stuff, but only if they are either filtering on it, or have a custom
template. in either case it's a fairly small change to fix the
configuration.
This would not be a change to make to an existing stable branch, but I
could see it being reasonable as a cleanup in 6.x
That sounds like a good solution! Acutally, I would bet that nobody actually
uses this property -- otherwise the question should have come up before. But
you never know...
that's my buess as well.
