-<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

+any configuration file lines that reference it.</p>
