MariaDB parser
The MariaDB parser can parse the log messages of the MariaDB Audit Plugin. The parser supports the syslog
output typess’ format. Available in version 3.37 and later.
Declaration:
@version: 4.8
@include "scl.conf"
log {
source { system(); };
parser { mariadb-audit-parser(); };
destination { ... };
};
The mariadb-audit
is a reusable configuration snippet configured to parse MariaDB Audit Plugin messages. For details on using or writing such configuration snippets, see Reusing configuration blocks. You can find the source of this configuration snippet on GitHub.
prefix()
Synopsis: | prefix() |
Description: Insert a prefix before the name part of the parsed name-value pairs to help further processing. For example:
-
To insert the
my-parsed-data.
prefix, use theprefix(my-parsed-data.)
option. -
To refer to a particular data that has a prefix, use the prefix in the name of the macro, for example,
${my-parsed-data.name}
. -
If you forward the parsed messages using the IETF-syslog protocol, you can insert all the parsed data into the SDATA part of the message using the
prefix(.SDATA.my-parsed-data.)
option.
Names starting with a dot (for example, .example
) are reserved for use by AxoSyslog. If you use such a macro name as the name of a parsed value, it will attempt to replace the original value of the macro (note that only soft macros can be overwritten, see Hard versus soft macros for details). To avoid such problems, use a prefix when naming the parsed values, for example, prefix(my-parsed-data.)
By default, mariadb-audit
uses the .mariadb.
prefix. To modify it, use the following format:
parser {
mariadb-audit-parser(prefix("myprefix."));
};
