MODULES

Rsyslog has a modular design. Consequently, there is a growing number of modules. See the HTML documentation for their full description.

omsnmp SNMP trap output module

omgssapi Output module for GSS-enabled syslog

ommysql Output module for MySQL

omrelp Output module for the reliable RELP protocol (prevents message loss). For details, see below at imrelp and the HTML documentation. It can be used like this:

*.* :omrelp:server:port

*.* :omrelp:192.168.0.1:2514 # actual sample

ompgsql Output module for PostgreSQL

omlibdbi Generic database output module (Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL, Sybase, SQLite, Ingres, Oracle, mSQL)

imfile Input module for text files

imudp Input plugin for UDP syslog. Replaces the deprecated -r option. Can be used like this:

$ModLoad imudp

$UDPServerRun 514

imtcp Input plugin for plain TCP syslog. Replaces the deprecated -t option. Can be used like this:

$ModLoad imtcp

$InputTCPServerRun 514

imrelp Input plugin for the RELP protocol. RELP can be used instead of UDP or plain TCP syslog to provide reliable delivery of syslog messages. Please note that plain TCP syslog does NOT provide truly reliable delivery, with it messages may be lost when there is a connection problem or the server shuts down. RELP prevents message loss in those cases. It can be used like this:

$ModLoad imrelp

$InputRELPServerRun 2514

imgssapi Input plugin for plain TCP and GSS-enable syslog

immark Support for mark messages

imklog Kernel logging. To include kernel log messages, you need to do

$ModLoad imklog

Please note that the klogd daemon is no longer necessary and consequently no longer provided by the rsyslog package.

imuxsock Unix sockets, including the system log socket. You need to specify

$ModLoad imuxsock

in order to receive log messages from local system processes. This config directive should only left out if you know exactly what you are doing.
