<p><b>Type:</b> global configuration directive</p>
<p><b>Default:</b> </p>
<p><b>Description:</b></p>
-<p>This currently is a dummy directive. It will support the loading of plug-ins in future releases of rsyslog supporting plug-ins. Currently, only "MySQL" is supported as parameter. This activates MySQL support (if rsyslog is compiled with MySQL functionality).</p>
+<p>Dynamically loads a plug-in into rsyslog's address space and activates it.
+The plug-in must obey the rsyslog module API. Currently, only MySQL is available
+as a plugin, but others may create their own. A plug-in must be loaded BEFORE
+any configuration file lines that reference it.</p>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
-<p><code><b>$ModLoad MySQL</b></code></p>
+<p><code><b>$ModLoad MySQL&nbsp; # load MySQL functionality</b></code></p>
