First, install libzmq from the HEAD on github: +http://github.com/zeromq/libzmq. You can clone the repository, build, then +install it. The directions for doing so are there in the readme. Then, do +the same for libczmq: http://github.com/zeromq/czmq. At some point, the 3.1 +version of libzmq will be released, and a supporting version of libczmq. +At that time, you could simply download and install the tarballs instead of +using git to clone the repositories. Those tarballs (when available) can +be found at http://download.zeromq.org. As of this writing (5/31/2012), the +most recent version of czmq (1.1.0) and libzmq (3.1.0-beta) will not compile +properly. + +Imzmq3 allows you to push data into rsyslog from a zeromq socket. The example +below binds a SUB socket to port 7172, and then any messages with the topic +"foo" will be pushed into rsyslog. + +Example Rsyslog.conf snippet: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +$InputZmq3ServerRun action=BIND,type=SUB,description=tcp://*:7172,subscribe=foo + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
