3.7.31. DefineFormattedGlobalVar Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Defines a value for a global variable that can be accessed anywhere special formatting characters are permitted. The syntax is:
DefineFormattedGlobalVar variablename value
This example defines the global variable called variablename to be the string value. The value can be accessed where special formatting characters are permitted with %{GlobalVar:variablename}.
Within value, special formatting characters are permitted, so you can have one global variable that depends on another global variable.
In the following example, the log file will be called ./detail-server1:
DefineFormattedGlobalVar servername server1
LogFile ./detail-%{GlobalVar:servername}
