+<h2>Modules</h2>
+<p>Rsyslog has a modular design. Consequently, there is a growing number of
+modules. Here is the entry point to their documentation and what they do (list
+is currently not complete)</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="omsnmp.html">omsnmp</a> - SNMP trap output module</li>
+ <li>ommysql - output module for MySQL</li>
+ <li>ompgsql - output module for PostgreSQL</li>
+ <li>imfile - [in development] input module for text files</li>
+ <li>imklog - kernel logging</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Please note that each module provides configuration directives, which are NOT
+necessarily being listed below. Also remember, that a modules configuration
+directive (and functionality) is only available if it has been loaded (using
+$ModLoad).</p>
<h2>Global Directives</h2>
<p>All global directives need to be specified on a line by their own and must
start with a dollar-sign. Here is a list in alphabetical order. Follow links for
