For RELP's advantages over plain tcp syslog, please see the documentation for <a href="imrelp.html">imrelp</a> (the server counterpart). </p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Setup</span> <p>Please note the <a href="http://www.librelp.com">librelp</a> is required for imrelp (it provides the core relp protocol implementation).</p> <p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p> <p>This module uses old-style action configuration to keep consistent with the forwarding rule. So far, no additional configuration directives can be specified. To send a message via RELP, use</p> <p>*.* :omrelp:<sever>:<port>;<template></p> <p>just as you use </p> <p>*.* @@<sever>:<port>;<template></p> <p>to forward a message via plain tcp syslog.</p> <b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b> <p>See <a href="imrelp.html">imrelp</a>, which documents them. </p> <p><b>Sample:</b></p> <p>The following sample sends all messages to the central server "centralserv" at port 2514 (note that that server must run imrelp on port 2514). Rsyslog's high-precision timestamp format is used, thus the special "RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat" (case sensitive!) template is used.<br> </p> <textarea rows="15" cols="60">$ModLoad omrelp # forward messages to the remote server "myserv" on # port 2514 *.* :omrelp:centralserv:2514;RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat </textarea> <p>[<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">rsyslog.conf overview</a>] [<a href="manual.html">manual index</a>] [<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog site</a>]</p> <p><font size="2">This documentation is part of the <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog</a> project.<br> Copyright � 2008 by <a href="http://www.gerhards.net/rainer">Rainer Gerhards</a> and <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/">Adiscon</a>.
