ToRELP

Tornado based RELP server

Setup

The test script uses port 20514

On rsyslog we want to put the following in place:

$ModLoad omrelp

$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog  # default location for work (spool) files

$ActionQueueType LinkedList   # use asynchronous processing
$ActionQueueFileName localhost # set file name, also enables disk mode
$ActionResumeInterval 1    # infinite retries on insert failure
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1    # infinite retries on insert failure
$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save in-memory data if rsyslog shuts down

*.* :omrelp:localhost:20514;RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat

Why?

New cool message queue using reliable messaging services that is simple to configure

How?

Check out test.py. Just inherit the ToRELPServer class and override the class method handle_syslog_message.

Todo

Add URL style dispatcher Add datetime parser Add new inbound formats Add plain TCP syslog support
