someone claimed to write a module with this functionality, if a
template were provided. And indeed, it was provided but never
anything happend (at least nothing was contributed back...). Removing
this silly template now. If someone really intends to take up on it,
get a copy from older git versions.
Add support for sending events to elasticsearch - a distributed,
RESTful, search engine built on Lucene (www.elasticsearch.org).
The output module is enabled via a configure option, and uses
libcurl to send the messages from rsyslog to elasticsearch.
This patch makes use of the earlier JSON quoting patch to ensure
valid JSON strings are sent to the server.

The actual input/output modules are better copy templates. Instead, the
now-removed modules cost time for maintenance AND often caused confusion
on what their role was.
While they are not meant for production, interface changes may not
show up if they are not included in distecheck. This may be distrubing
to users. The chances is even greater as there usually is no need
to compile and/or check these modules during regular development.
In systemd we now have a standard socket unit for /dev/log called
syslog.socket. This unit can be shared between an early boot mini syslog
and the full syslog implementation started later on. The mini syslog is
shipped along systemd and does nothing but simply forward the data
received through /dev/log to the kernel log buffer (i.e. kmsg, as
visible by dmesg). It is run during early boot, and then as soon as
rsyslog starts up it is terminated, so that rsyslog can take over the
/dev/log socket. Since one of the first things rsyslog does after
starting up is flushing the kernel log buffer to disk we end up with all
data from early boot up in syslog.
This patch changes two things: removes rsyslog.socket and instead
configures rsyslog.service to take possession of syslock.socket. And
secondly includes a PreStart line to terminate the running syslog bridge
instance.
This adds a systemd socket and service unit file to the default install
if systemd is found or explicitly enabled in ./configure.
Patch is against current git v5-devel.
This is a *very first* and *very rough* and *very featureless* first
shot at this functionality. It is assumed that we will enhance the
stats system as a by-line while doing other development.
most importantly pmlastmsg, which handles the pathetic "last message
repeated n times" messages that some syslogd's emit.
Also some minor fixes, like wrong files names in make dist (for new
files introduced after last release)
