<h1>RELP Output Module (omrelp)</h1>
<p><b>Module Name: omrelp</b></p>
<p><b>Author: </b>Rainer Gerhards
<rgerhards@adiscon.com></p>
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>This module supports sending syslog messages over the reliable
RELP protocol. For RELP's advantages over plain tcp syslog, please see
the documentation for <a href="imrelp.html">imrelp</a>
(the server counterpart). </p>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Setup</span>
<p>Please note the <a href="http://www.librelp.com">librelp</a>
is required for imrelp (it provides the core relp protocol
implementation).</p>
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<p>This module uses old-style action configuration to keep
consistent with the forwarding rule. So far, no additional
configuration directives can be specified. To send a message via RELP,
use</p>
<p>*.*
:omrelp:<sever>:<port>;<template></p>
<p>just as you use </p>
<p>*.*
@@<sever>:<port>;<template></p>
<p>to forward a message via plain tcp syslog.</p>
<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
<p>See <a href="imrelp.html">imrelp</a>,
which documents them. </p>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p>The following sample sends all messages to the central server
"centralserv" at port 2514 (note that that server must run imrelp on
port 2514). Rsyslog's high-precision timestamp format is used, thus the
special "RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat" (case sensitive!) template is used.<br>

Note: to use IPv6 addresses, encode them in [::1] format.
