What this PR does / why we need it:
Some log systems like loki natively work on raw text lines, and are more natural to use in this form as opposed to a JSON collection of parsed fields.
Loki can accept certain parsed fields out-of-band as tags, but only if low-cardinality. syslog parsing can generate high cardinality values, in particular
pid
, so all these values cannot be mapped to tags. But if they are not mapped to tags, and the original line is not kept, then these values are lost.I think it would also be useful with out_file to record the entire original syslog line.
