Mail Output Module (omuxsock)

Module Name: omuxsock

Available since: 4.7.3, 5.5.7

Author: Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>

Description:

This module supports sending syslog messages to local Unix sockets. +Thus it provided a fast message-passing interface between different rsyslog +instances. The counterpart to omuxsock is imuxsock. +Note that the template used together with omuxsock must be suitable to be +processed by the receiver. +

Configuration Directives:

$OMUxSockSocket
+Name of the socket to send data to. This has no default and must +be set. +
$OMUxSockDefaultTemplate
+This can be used to override the default template to be used together +with omuxsock. This is primarily useful if there are many forwarding +actions and each of them should use the same template.

+Caveats/Known Bugs: +

Currently, only datagram sockets are supported. +

Sample:

The following sample writes all messages to the "/tmp/socksample" socket. +
