Using a property in template (after action(type="mmjsonparse")
succeeds):

property(name="$!key!anotherKey")

Is there a way to specify default value (just a string constant,
nothing dynamic) that should be used in case incoming messages do not
have $key!anotherKey element?

not directly, but you can do:

if isempty($!key!anotherKey) then $!key!anotherKey=default

 that changes the parsed json structure though which I was hoping to
avoid,

huh? how does it change it any more than setting a default value for
$!key!anotherKey would?

I do not want to set $!key!anotherKey to the default value, I want to use a default value in template if there is no value in incoming message for $!key!anotherKey

template(name="dynamicFilename" type="list") {
 constant(value="/var/log/")
 property(name="$!key")
}

I would like to achieve:

 - if there is no "key" in icoming message, e.g. @cee:{"a":"b"}
filename would be: /var/log/no-such-key

 - if there is "key" in incoming message, e.g. @cee:{"key":"got-a-key"}
filename would be: /var/log/got-a-key

I would like to achieve the above, preferably without changing the parsed incoming message. In other words I would like to use the property $!key if it exists, otherwise use a default value.

Ok, one new feature that was recently added was a separate namespace that you can use that won't show up in $!

this is the $, namespace

so you can do

if isempty($!key) then
  set $.filename="/var/log/no-such-key";
else
  set $.filename="/var/log/%$!key%";

then you can use $.filename in your template.
