Structured Data Elements I

• Used to implement “extended functionality”.

• Build on idea of cookies introduced in syslog-sign

• So far, have a simple form:

  • [@#ID name=”value”]
  • Multiple name/value pairs possible
  • Can NOT be structured in a tree/container
  • May eventually be moved to a specific field (in -protocol-03, they can be everywhere in the message – see http://www.syslog.cc/ietf/protocol/issue8.html)
