$ModDir

Type: global configuration directive

Default: system default for user libraries, e.g. +/usr/local/lib/rsyslog/

Description:

Provides the default directory in which loadable modules reside. This may be +used to specify an alternate location that is not based on the system default. +If the system default is used, there is no need to specify this directive. Plese +note that it is vitally important to end the path name with a slash, else module +loads will fail.

Sample:

$ModDir /usr/rsyslog/libs/ # note the trailing slash!
