I'm trying to add an environment variable to my rsyslog template.
I tried using 'getenv()' function without any luck, I always get an empty string in return.
I'm attaching an example of my rsyslog config file, I'm using 'HOME' env variable as an example.
/etc/rsyslog.d/00-my_log.conf
set $.my_home=getenv("HOME");
template(name="json-template"
type="list")
constant(value="")
constant(value="","my_home":"") property(name="$.my_home")
constant(value="","message":"") property(name="msg" format="json")
constant(value=""n")
*.* action(type="omfile" dirCreateMode="0700" FileCreateMode="0644"
template="json-template" File="/var/log/my_log")
/var/log/my_log
"my_home":"","message":"my log message"

This works for me, but I have version 8.30.0. If you runrsyslogd -dnyou will get lots of debug output. There might be an error message about getenv in there. For a normal input line I see in the debug:SET .my_home = function 'getenv' ... string 'HOME'END SET`

Sadly I can't easily update my rsyslog version, it will require me to compile rsyslog and its dependencies to my specific Debian armv7l distribution. Withrsyslogd -dn, I can see the line you mentioned, it actually defines to variable 3 times but in the end it's still an empty string. Anyway, I'll just find a workaround as this issue doesn't worth getting into a compilation session. Thanks for the help!
