INI is good for one level of item->subvalue data, but with rsyslog I think we need the ability to go arbararily deep > Has anyone experience with JSON or LUA? both of these are really full languages (or subsets of languages). I don't think they are appropriate for config files (and I really question them as being appropriate for data transfers, even though JSON is used for this purpose extensivly) David Lang _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
