RELP Input Module

+

Module Name:    imrelp

+

Author: Rainer Gerhards

+

Description:

+

Provides the ability to receive syslog messages via the +reliable RELP protocol. This module requires librelp to be +present on the system. From the user's point of view, imrelp works much +like imtcp or imgssapi, except that no message loss can occur. Please +note that with the currently supported relp protocol version, a minor +message duplication may occur if a network connection between the relp +client and relp server breaks after the client could successfully send +some messages but the server could not acknowledge them. The window of +opportunity is very slim, but in theory this is possible. Future +versions of RELP will prevent this. Please also note that rsyslogd may +lose a few messages if rsyslog is shutdown while a network conneciton +to the server is broken and could not yet be recovered. Future version +of RELP support in rsyslog will prevent that. Please note that both +scenarios also exists with plain tcp syslog. RELP, even with the small +nits outlined above, is a much more reliable solution than plain tcp +syslog and so it is highly suggested to use RELP instead of plain tcp. +Clients send messages to the RELP server via omrelp.
