Description
In out configuration syslogs tags are used to decide log message filtering (PCI DSS requiremens) and forwarding destination.
Sometimes we need syslog tags more than 32 symbols long. This violates RFC 3164, but all our software can work with long tags.
It would be nice to have additional access_log
directive option that allows logs tags for syslog messages, like allowlongtags=true
Now using long tags is strictly prohibited:
nginx: [emerg] syslog tag length exceeds 32 in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/test.conf:13
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Quoting RFC 3164:
That is, using longer tags is explicitly forbidden.
