+configuration objects
+=====================
+
+.. note::
+
+  Configuration object parameters are case-insensitive.
+
+Common Parameters
+-----------------
+
+config.enabled
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. versionadded:: 8.33.0
+
+All configuration objects have a ``config.enabled`` parameter.
+For auto-generated configs, it is useful to have the ability to disable some
+config constructs even though they may be specified inside the config. This
+can be done via the ``config.enabled`` parameter.
+If set to ``on`` or not specified, the construct will be
+used, if set to any other value, it will be ignored.
+This can be used together with the backtick functionality to enable or
+disable parts of the configuration from either a file or environment variable.
+
+Example:
+
+Let's say we want to conditionally load a module. Environment variable
+``LOAD_IMPTCP`` will be either unset or ``off`` .
+Then we can use this config construct:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+   :emphasize-lines: 2
+
+    module(load="imptcp"
+        config.enabled=`echo $LOAD_IMPTCP`)
+
+If the variable is set to ``off``, the module will **not** be loaded.
+
+Objects
+-------
+
+action()
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The :doc:`action <../configuration/actions>`  object is the primary means of

+This is used to set global configuration parameters. For details, please
+see the :doc:`rsyslog global configuration object <global>`.
+
+input()
+^^^^^^^
+
+The :doc:`input <../configuration/input>` object is the primary means of
+describing inputs, which are used to gather messages for rsyslog processing.
+
+module()
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The module object is used to load plugins.
+
+parser()
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The :doc:`parser <../configuration/parser>` object is used to define
+custom parser objects.
+
+timezone()
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The :doc:`timezone <../configuration/timezone>` object is used to define
+timezone settings.
+

+
