syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.16 - Release Notes

option-inherit-mode

inherit-mode: This attribute controls which name-value pairs and tags are propagated to the newly generated message.

• context: syslog-ng OSE collects every name-value pair from each message stored in the context, and includes them in the generated message. If a name-value pair appears in multiple messages of the context, the value in the latest message will be used. Note that tags are not merged, the generated message will inherit the tags assigned to the last message of the context.

• last-message: Only the name-value pairs appearing in the last message are copied. If the context contains only a single message, then it is the message that triggered the action.

• none: An empty message is created, without inheriting any tags or name-value pairs.
