Under Solaris, there +is no special kernel input device. Instead, both kernel messages as well +as messages emitted via syslog() are received from a single source. + +This module obeys the Solaris door() mechanism to detect a running +syslogd instance. As such, only one can be active at one time. If it +detects another active instance at startup, the module disables itself, +but rsyslog will continue to run. + + +Configuration Parameters +======================== + +.. note:: + + Parameter names are case-insensitive. + + +|FmtObsoleteName| Directives +---------------------------- + +| functions:: $IMSolarisLogSocketName <name> + + This is the name of the log socket (stream) to read. If not given, + /dev/log is read. + + +Caveats/Known Bugs +================== + +None currently known. For obvious reasons, works on Solaris, only (and +compilation will most probably fail on any other platform). + + +Examples +======== + +The following sample pulls messages from the default log source + +.. code-block:: none + + $ModLoad imsolaris + + |
