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

[Ken Wills (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13264463#comment-13264463 ] 

Ken Wills commented on WFCORE-1647:
-----------------------------------

So in this case, the header is assembled with:

      HEADER          = PRI VERSION SP TIMESTAMP SP HOSTNAME
                        SP APP-NAME SP PROCID SP MSGID

So inclusion of spaces (or un-escaped spaces, but those would be annoying to grep on IMO), will put the next token into procid.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Domain Management
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Alpha3

> 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.
