ServerStreamDriverAuthMode¶

Accepts a stream driver authentication mode string, but imdiag always uses the plain TCP driver so the value has no effect.

This parameter applies to imdiag: Diagnostic instrumentation.

Name:: ServerStreamDriverAuthMode
Scope:: input
Type:: string
Default:: input=none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

Selects the authentication mode for the active network stream driver. imdiag always uses the plain TCP driver (ptcp) and therefore lacks TLS or other authenticated stream implementations. The value is accepted for compatibility with the generic TCP listener framework but is ignored by the ptcp driver.

Configure this parameter before ServerRun if you need forward compatibility with a future build that supports alternate stream drivers. In current releases the setting does not change listener behavior.

Input usage¶

module(load="imdiag")
input(type="imdiag"
      listenPortFileName="/var/run/rsyslog/imdiag.port"
      serverStreamDriverAuthMode="anon"
      serverRun="19998")

Legacy names (for reference)¶

Historic names/directives for compatibility. Do not use in new configs.

$IMDiagServerStreamDriverAuthMode — maps to ServerStreamDriverAuthMode (status: legacy)
