[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-3758) Allow users to not add message as attribute when using ParseSyslog and ListenSyslog

["Joseph Witt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3758?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15988172#comment-15988172 ] 

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3758:
-----------------------------------

[~trixpan] I think we should consider letting these processors go away and instead add ListenSyslogRecord (or update the old one to this) and it would read them in and serialize them using the new record stuff.  We can have the schema we want to honor be a default value property on the processor and then the data can be made readily parsed/usable/querable in the flow all with very high throughput, configurability, and provenance.  Probably not a 1.2 thing in terms of timeframe but we really need to get in the habit of releasing more often anyway!

> [~bbende] - not sure if you agree with me, but it would be great if ListenSyslog and ParseSyslog had the ability of NOT adding the syslog {{message}} field to the flowfile attributes.
> Rationale is that while several attributes such as priority, facility, etc are very handy for routing decisions, the {{message}} field may contain an arbitrary volume of data that may better left as flowfile content.
> Happy to try to tackle this quickly so we include into 1.2.0 :-P
