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

[James Perkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13264457#comment-13264457 ] 

James Perkins commented on WFCORE-1647:
---------------------------------------

I don't see in the specification where it forbids white space in the app-name.

{quote}
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.

>             Project: WildFly Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Domain Management
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Alpha3
>            Reporter: Jan Tymel

> 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.
