The term “action” means an action that defines where a log message ends up such as in a regular file or database table when referring to system logging in SUSE Linux Enterprise. An action is part of a rule that specifies how to process a log message based on its properties. An action can be one of the following types: file, pipe, shell, template, discard, stop, call, omusrmsg, ommysql, ompgsql, etc. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-syslog.html#sec-syslog-config-actions
