+plugin to use MongoDB as backend.
+
+tested in ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 10.10
+
+configuration:
+
+in your /etc/rsyslog.conf, together with other modules:
+$ModLoad ommongodb # provides mongodb support
+*.* action(type="ommongodb" db="..." collection="..." template="...")
+
+Note: if no template is specified, a default schema will be used. That schema
+contains proper data types. However, if a template is specified, only strings
+are supported. This is a restriction of the rsyslog v6 core engine. This
+changed in v7.
+
+If templates are used, it is suggested to use list-based templates. Constants
+can ONLY be inserted with list-based templates, as only these provide the
+capability to specify a field name (outname parameter).
