Rainer, Brian
Regarding my initial questions about how to use the v6 configuration,
could you please help me to understand some things that puzzle me. As I
said before, these doubts come mostly from my limited understanding of
the configuration model and the interplay of rulesets, actions,
selectors, module instances).
Is there any documentation besides the example modules (which I'm still
dissecting)
Thanks again!

Pablo, Rainer -
We talked today and we're going to sync up Monday - it's not "officially
official" yet but I expect we'll be releasing the code sometime next week.
That's great news!
Rainer, this is both input and output modules for zeromq, using czmq
(they're much cleaner than the first ones we wrote against zmq 2 that are
on github currently). If you're ok with it, I'll send the diffs off of
head to you hopefully next week.
Sure, pls do. I'll see that things get smoothly integrated this time. Ping me
if not ;)

Oh, those are very good news, as for us the zeromq is a very important
piece.
Please let me known when you have a tentative release schedule. Thanks

Just a heads up - I'm one of the people from Aggregate Knowledge who
worked
on the ZeroMQ modules. I'm currently at a new startup, and we
internally
have a ground up rewrite of the modules using the v6 configuration, and
using the czmq api (rather than wrapping libzmq directly). We've just
begun testing the new modules internally. Let me talk to my folks today
and see what our schedule is for releasing them, as it could save you
some
duplication of effort. More eyes on the code is always better!
Additionally, I wrote the omhiredis module that's currently in the 6.3.*
dev (on head, and I believe the code is in 6.3.8 dev release as well).
The
omhiredis module is a redis output module using the hiredis C library,
and
uses v6 configuration. I used Rainer's ommongodb output module as a
guide
when writing it, as ommongodb only supports v6 config format.

Hi
I'm developing some custom input and output module to interface with a
proprietary application. In doing so, I've been checking how different
modules use the new configuration API and it's clear there are (at
least)
two approaches.
OMLIBDBI implements BEGINnewActInst and uses CODE_STD_STRING_****
REQUESTparseSelectorAct
to parse configuration.
OMINFILE declares a callback function using this macro
CHKiRet(omsdRegCFSLineHdlr((****uchar *)"inputrunfilemonitor", 0,
eCmdHdlrGetWord,
addMonitor, NULL, STD_LOADABLE_MODULE_ID));
And then the addMonitor function processes the configuration
Is there any real difference? are those two ways to do the same
depending
on whether the module is an input or output module?
My questions are mostly due to my limited understanding on how multiple
rulesets, selectors an actions work and how this relates to module
instances. Concretely, I need to start multiple instances of the output
module to forward event records filtered by different rules (e.g.
severity,
source, etc). Also, I need to create multiple instances of the input
module
to gather events from multiple sources.
Many thanks in advance
P.S. I'm also migrating the ZeroMQ input and output modules developed
by
Aggregate Knowledge (https://github.com/****

**<https://github.com/**aggregateknowledge/rsyslog-**>
zeromq<https://github.com/**aggregateknowledge/rsyslog-

to
rsyslog v6.
