Hello, Is it possible for rsyslog to receive messages over TCP in plain json format? I have looked through the documentation and the closest match I found for supplying json-formatted messages was to put the json message as the payload of a syslog message with the "@cee:" tag added, send the syslog message to rsyslog over imtcp and then use the mmjsonparse module to parse the json message. Is there a better alternative?
In current versions you can skip the @cee: tag by setting cookie="" in the mmjsonparse action() call.
If you want to send raw json without a header, you can use mmnormalize to parse the raw message as json
I recommend still sending the syslog header and have the msg portion be json, the info in the header is something that you really do want to have for every message, and it really does need to be in a consistant location, so why not put it in the header?
