About rsyslog Modules

Written by + Rainer + Gerhards (2007-07-26)

This document is incomplete. The module interface is +also quite incomplete and under development. Do not currently use it! +You may want to visit Rainer's blog +to learn what's going on.

Overview

In theory, modules provide input and output, among other functions, in +rsyslog. In practice, modules are only utilized for output in the current +release. The module interface is not yet completed and a moving target. We do +not recommend to write a module based on the current specification. If you do, +please be prepared that future released of rsyslog will probably break your +module.

A goal of modularization is to provide an easy to use plug-in interface. +However, this goal is not yet reached and all modules must be statically linked.

Module Security

Modules are directly loaded into rsyslog's address space. As such, any module +is provided a big level of trust. Please note that further module interfaces +might provide a way to load a module into an isolated address space. This, +however, is far from being completed. So the number one rule about module +security is to run only code that you know you can trust.
