Additional text message to add to the e-mail body:
This setting specifies an additional line of text that can be included in the daily statistics and alarm e-mails. If you are receiving daily statistics or alarm e-mails from many syslog daemons, it can be useful to include a way of identifying which syslog daemon the e-mail came from.
Simply add a line of text that best describes the name or location of the syslog daemon. The text will be added to the beginning of the e-mail body.
For example:
A normal statistics e-mail looks like this:
/// Kiwi Syslog Daemon Statistics ///
---------------------------------------------------
24 hour period ending on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:04:55 +1300
Syslog Daemon started on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:03:54
Syslog Daemon uptime: 24 hours, 0 minutes
---------------------------------------------------
+ Messages received - Total: 20000
+ Messages received - Last 24 hours: 20000
If you set the MailAdditionalBodyText setting to "London - Firewall Monitoring Syslog Daemon", the daily statistics e-mail will look like this:
London - Firewall Monitoring Syslog Daemon
/// Kiwi Syslog Daemon Statistics ///
---------------------------------------------------
24 hour period ending on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:04:55 +1300
Syslog Daemon started on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:03:54
Syslog Daemon uptime: 24 hours, 0 minutes
---------------------------------------------------
+ Messages received - Total: 20000
+ Messages received - Last 24 hours: 20000
An additional CRLF is added before and after the text for better visibility.
