I'm sending nginx logs to my rsyslog and struggle with the separator used in my logs.

A log entry looks something like this (separated by |):
1415815576.616|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com

The rulebase I'm using is:
rule=: %msec:word%\x7C%pop:word%\x7C%remote_addr:word%\x7C%status:word%\x7C%byte_send:word%\x7C%vhost:word%

also tried this:
rule=: %msec:word%|%pop:word%|%remote_addr:word%|%status:word%|%byte_send:word%|%vhost:word%

Output in my log file on the rsyslog server:
msg is ' 1415815576.616|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com', { "originalmsg": " 1415815576.616|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com", "unparsed-data": "" } msg is ' 1415815576.616|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com', { "originalmsg": " 1415815576.616|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com", "unparsed-data": "" } msg is ' 1415815576.631|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com', { "originalmsg": " 1415815576.631|defr|130.193.215.96|304|284|test.abc.com", "unparsed-data": "" }

For some reason does it not parse the log entries properly. I tested it with a space which is working but not with the | (pipe).

I think the problem is that word may include the pipe character, try replacing it with the charto primitive.

Is there any special escaping required for the | or is this just not working at all?

Thanks for you help,
Sven
