I am trying to write an external plugin for rsyslog in perl for my use. I am able to get basic skeleton from github but i am not able to get any info on how to integrate it with rsyslog setup. I read interface.md on github and it ask to read documentation for mmexternal native plugin which i am unable to find anywhere.
Apart from what above i also updated my /etc/rsyslog file with
module(load="omprog")
*.* action(type="omprog" action="path to my plugin")
What i updated above is based on given slide http://www.slideshare.net/rainergerhards1/writing-rsyslog-p
Still i am not able to get desired result.
Can anyone tell me how to integrate external plugin with rsyslog setup and then sending logs to external machine after modification?
NOTE:- rsyslog is running on a debian machine and external machine on which logs will be send is also debian. I am writing external plugin on first machine.
What i found is that rsyslog is case sensitive and i only need to change module to Module and it start working perfectly.
