<h1>Unix sockets Output Module (omuxsock)</h1>
|
|
<p><b>Module Name: omuxsock</b></p>
|
|
<p><b>Available since: </b> 4.7.3, 5.5.7</p>
|
|
<p><b>Author: </b>Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com></p>
|
|
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
|
|
<p>This module supports sending syslog messages to local Unix sockets.
|
|
Thus it provided a fast message-passing interface between different rsyslog
|
|
instances. The counterpart to omuxsock is <a href="imuxsock.html">imuxsock</a>.
|
|
Note that the template used together with omuxsock must be suitable to be
|
|
processed by the receiver.
|
|
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>$OMUxSockSocket</b><br>
|
|
Name of the socket to send data to. This has no default and <b>must</b>
|
|
be set.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>$OMUxSockDefaultTemplate</b><br>
|
|
This can be used to override the default template to be used together
|
|
with omuxsock. This is primarily useful if there are many forwarding
|
|
actions and each of them should use the same template.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
|
|
<p>Currently, only datagram sockets are supported.
|
|
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
|
|
<p>The following sample writes all messages to the "/tmp/socksample" socket.
