+<ul>
+<li><b>template</b><br>
+The default template to use. This template is used when no template is
+explicitely specified in the action() statement.
+<li><b>driverdirectory</b><br>
+Path to the libdbi drivers. Usually,
+you do not need to set it. If you installed libdbi-drivers at a
+non-standard location, you may need to specify the directory here. If
+you are unsure, do <b>not</b> use this configuration directive.
+Usually, everything works just fine.
+Note that this was an action() paramter in rsyslog versions below 7.3.0.
+However, only the first action's driverdirectory parameter was actually used.
+This has been cleaned up in 7.3.0, where this now is a module paramter.
