IMSolarisLogSocketName¶

Specifies the Solaris log stream device imsolaris reads, defaulting to /dev/log.

This parameter applies to imsolaris: Solaris Input Module.

Note

This is a legacy global directive. The imsolaris module does not support the modern module()/input() syntax.

Name:: IMSolarisLogSocketName
Scope:: module
Type:: string (path)
Default:: /dev/log
Required?:: no
Introduced:: Not documented

Description¶

This directive specifies the path to the Solaris log socket (stream) for reading local application and kernel messages. If omitted, it defaults to /dev/log. Since directive names are case-insensitive, the canonical form $IMSolarisLogSocketName is recommended for readability.

Module usage¶

$ModLoad imsolaris
$IMSolarisLogSocketName "/var/run/rsyslog/solaris.log"
