I'm trying to send email from rsyslog (using the ommail module) on certain events, but no matter what I do the message bodies are always empty.



My configuration file says:



module(load="ommail")

template (name="mailBody" type="string" string="RSYSLOG Alert\r\nmsg='%msg%'")
template (name="mailSubject" type="string" string="lti problem on %hostname%")

if $syslogseverity <= 4 and $syslogfacility-text == 'local1' then
action(type="ommail" server="localhost" port="25"
mailfrom="obfuscated@obfuscated.com"
mailto="obfuscated@obfuscated.com"
subject.template="mailSubject")



This is copied from the example at https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/ommail.html



Messages are sent but the body is empty. How do I fix this?

          You must specifically set the template on the action clause (with template="mailBody"). This is missing from the example. You may also need body.enable="on" though this is supposedly the default.



          module(load="ommail")
