As a first step (and because I needed something to do decent testing ;)) I have implemented a new module omuxsock which now can natively write to unix domain sockets. That should close part of the gap that was discussed here.
I hope I will find time to look at imuxsock and the hostname parsing code next week (but that will be *very* busy). Doc: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omuxsock.html v4 Commit (v5 also already merged): http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff;h=80ff634c841d692c1d9f335b 88e225d6ce7317f7 I plan to remove this plugin next week with the upcoming v5 beta.
