<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>The mmpstrucdata parses RFC5424 structured data into the message
json variable tree.

<p><b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
<ul>
<li>this module is currently experimental; feedback is appreciated
+<li>property names are treated case-insensitive in rsyslog. As such,
+RFC5424 names are treated case-insensitive as well. If such names
+only differ in case (what is not recommended anyways), problems will
+occur.
<li>structured data with duplicate SD-IDs and SD-PARAMS is not
properly processed
