[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-1647) Default app-name value of Syslog handler in Audit Logging violates specification
[

James Perkins commented on WFCORE-1647:
---------------------------------------
I don't see in the specification where it forbids white space in the app-name.

6.2.5. APP-NAME
The APP-NAME field SHOULD identify the device or application that
originated the message. It is a string without further semantics.
It is intended for filtering messages on a relay or collector.
The NILVALUE MAY be used when the syslog application has no idea of
its APP-NAME or cannot provide that information. It may be that a
device is unable to provide that information either because of a
local policy decision, or because the information is not available,
or not applicable, on the device.
This field MAY be operator-assigned.

Usually it would say if white space should not be used.

Key: WFCORE-1647
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1647
Project: WildFly Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Domain Management
Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Alpha3
Reporter: Jan Tymel
Assignee: Ken Wills
According to syslog specification[1] {{app-name}} cannot contain space character ("
"). However, the default value in WildFly Core 3.0.0.Alpha3 is {{WildFly Core}}. This
results in the syslog server is not able to capture Process ID from which the message was
sent.
E.g. following piece of information is captured {{WildFly[Core] (...)}} instead of
{{WildFlyCore[795]}}
Suggestions for improvement:
Change default value {{WildFly Core}} to one without space character.
Also please consider addition of check whether {{app-name}} contains space character.
