Description: The app-name of the SYSLOG message. A zero-length string indicates an unknown app-name. The SYSLOG protocol specification constrains this string to printable US-ASCII code points.
What is syslogMsgAppName?
Reports the app-name field of this syslog message, identifying the application or process that generated it, per RFC 5424; a zero-length string means unknown. Admins use this to filter or triage messages by which software component produced them, without having to parse the free-text message body. Seeing syslogMsgAppName as sshd on an entry immediately tells an admin the message relates to SSH activity rather than routing or another subsystem.
