statefile¶

Specifies the absolute path to the JSON file where omsendertrack persists sender statistics.

This parameter applies to omsendertrack: Sender Tracking Output Module.

Name:: statefile
Scope:: input
Type:: string
Default:: input=none
Required?:: yes
Introduced:: 8.2506.0 (Proof-of-Concept)

Description¶

This mandatory parameter specifies the absolute path to the JSON file where sender information is stored. The module updates this file periodically based on the configured interval and also upon rsyslog shutdown to preserve the latest statistics.

Important: Ensure that the rsyslog user has appropriate write permissions to the directory where this statefile is located. Failure to do so will prevent the module from saving its state.

Input usage¶

module(load="omsendertrack")
action(type="omsendertrack"
       senderId="%hostname%"
       stateFile="/var/lib/rsyslog/senderstats.json")
