# rawmsg-after-pri

Contains the raw message content with the syslog PRI removed when present.

This property belongs to the Message Properties group.

Name:

  rawmsg-after-pri

Category:

  Message Properties

Type:

  string

## Description

Almost the same as rawmsg, but the syslog PRI is removed. If no PRI was present, `rawmsg-after-pri` is identical to rawmsg. Note that the syslog PRI is a header field that contains information on syslog facility and severity. It is enclosed in greater-than and less-than characters, e.g. `<191>`. This field is often not written to log files, but usually needs to be present for the receiver to properly classify the message. There are some rare cases where one wants the raw message, but not the PRI. You can use this property to obtain that. In general, you should know that you need this format, otherwise stay away from the property.

## Usage

    template(name="example" type="list") {
        property(name="rawmsg-after-pri")
    }
