Solaris Input Module

Module Name: imsolaris

Author: Rainer Gerhards +<rgerhards@adiscon.com>

Description:

Reads local Solaris log messages including the kernel log.

This module is specifically tailored for Solaris. Under Solaris, there +is no special kernel input device. Instead, both kernel messages as well as +messages emitted via syslog() are received from a single source. +

This module obeys the Solaris door() mechanism to detect a running syslogd +instance. As such, only one can be active at one time. If it detects another +active intance at startup, the module disables itself, but rsyslog will +continue to run. +

Configuration Directives:

$IMSolarisLogSocketName <name>
+This is the name of the log socket (stream) to read. If not given, /dev/log +is read. +

+Caveats/Known Bugs: +

None currently known. For obvious reasons, works on Solaris, only (and compilation +will most probably fail on any other platform). +

Sample:

The following sample pulls messages from the default log source +
