In the example above, messages are forwarded via UDP to the

859

machine 192.168.0.1, the destination port defaults to 514. Messages

860

will not be compressed.

861

Note that IPv6 addresses contain colons. So if an IPv6 address is specified

862

in the hostname part, rsyslogd could not detect where the IP address ends

863

and where the port starts. There is a syntax extension to support this:

864

put squary brackets around the address (e.g. "[2001::1]"). Square

865

brackets also work with real host names and IPv4 addresses, too.

866

A valid sample to send messages to the IPv6 host 2001::1 at port 515

867

is as follows:

868

*.* @[2001::1]:515

869

This works with TCP, too.

870

Note to sysklogd users: sysklogd does not

862

871

support RFC 3164 format, which is the default forwarding template in

863

872

rsyslog. As such, you will experience duplicate hostnames if rsyslog is

915

924

Important: to use the database functionality, the

916

925

MySQL output module must be loaded in the config file BEFORE

917

926

the first database table action is used. This is done by placing the

918

<code>$ModLoad MySQL</code>

927

<code>$ModLoad ommysql</code>

919

928

directive some place above the first use of the database write

920

929

(we recommend doing at the the beginning of the config file).

and database support). For obvious reasons, the syntax for defining

1191

1200

such features is available in rsyslogd, only.
