So is something like this possible? I am writing a template with a few parts - a base directory name, the hostname of the originating server, and then the log file name. After defining the template, some conditions for the different files. I just want a different file based on different conditions, without redefining the template. So, something like:template(name="tpltest" type="list") { constant(value="/var/log/") property(name="hostname") constant(value="/") property(name="$.filename") } if $programname == "micah" and $syslogfacility-text == 'local1' then { set $.filename = "loggerstuff" action(type="omfile" Template="tpltest" DirOwner="root" DirGroup="root" FileOwner="root" FileGroup="root" DirCreateMode="0755" FileCreateMode="0644") } if $programname == "puppet-agent" and $syslogfacility-text == 'local1' then { set $.filename = "puppet" action(type="omfile" Template="tpltest" DirOwner="root" DirGroup="root" FileOwner="root" FileGroup="root" DirCreateMode="0755" FileCreateMode="0644") } It doesn't seem to be parsing in 7.4.4 which I have installed, but I might be doing something wrong. If it isn't possible in this version, is it in 7.5.x or 8.1.x?
This is exactly the type of thing that local variables were designed for. But just to check, try doing $! instead of $. the variable will show up as part of a JSON output of $! if you do this, but it will let you test if this is the problem
