# subjectText

Sets a fixed subject line instead of generating one from a template.

This parameter applies to ommail: Mail Output Module.

Name:

  subjectText

Scope:

  input

Type:

  string

Default:

  input=none

Required?:

  no

Introduced:

  8.5.0

## Description

Use this parameter to set a constant subject text. Choose subjectTemplate when the subject should be generated from a template. The `subjectTemplate` and `subjectText` parameters cannot both be configured within a single action. If neither is specified, a default, non-configurable subject line will be generated.

## Input usage

    module(load="ommail")
    action(
        type="ommail"
        server="mail.example.net"
        port="25"
        mailFrom="rsyslog@example.net"
        mailTo="operator@example.net"
        subjectText="rsyslog detected disk problem"
    )
