Modules

Rsyslog has a modular design. Consequently, there is a growing number of modules. Here is the entry point to their documentation and what they do (list is currently not complete)

• omsnmp - SNMP trap output module
• omrelp - RELP output module
• omgssapi - output module for GSS-enabled syslog
• ommysql - output module for MySQL
• ompgsql - output module for PostgreSQL
• omlibdbi - generic database output module (Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL, Sybase, SQLLite, Ingres, Oracle, mSQL)
• ommail - permits rsyslog to alert folks by mail if something important happens
• imfile -  input module for text files
• imrelp - RELP input module
• imudp - udp syslog message input
• imtcp - input plugin for plain tcp syslog
• imgssapi - input plugin for plain tcp and GSS-enabled syslog
• immark - support for mark messages
• imklog - kernel logging
• imuxsock - unix sockets, including the system log socket
• im3195 - accepts syslog messages via RFC 3195

Please note that each module provides configuration directives, which are NOT necessarily being listed below. Also remember, that a modules configuration directive (and functionality) is only available if it has been loaded (using $ModLoad).
