omstdout: stdout output module (testbench tool)

Module Name:	omstdout
Author:	Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>
Available Since:	4.1.6

Purpose

This module writes any messages that are passed to it to stdout. It was developed for the rsyslog test suite. However, there may (limited) exist some other usages. Please note we do not put too much effort on the quality of this module as we do not expect it to be used in real deployments. If you do, please drop us a note so that we can enhance its priority!

Configuration

Note

Parameter names are case-insensitive; camelCase is recommended for readability.

Module Parameters

Parameter	Summary
(none)	This module has no module-scope parameters.

Action Parameters

Parameter	Summary
template	Selects the rsyslog template used to format messages written to stdout.

Configure statement

This is used when building rsyslog from source.

./configure –enable-omstdout

Legacy parameter not adopted in the new style

$ActionOMStdoutArrayInterface [Default: off] This setting instructs omstdout to use the alternate array based method of parameter passing. If used, the values will be output with commas between the values but no other padding bytes. This is a test aid for the alternate calling interface.
