<h1>Solaris Input Module</h1>
<p><b>Module Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; imsolaris</b></p>
<p><b>Author: </b>Rainer Gerhards
&lt;rgerhards@adiscon.com&gt;</p>
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>Reads local Solaris log messages including the kernel log.</p>
<p>This module is specifically tailored for Solaris. Under Solaris, there
is no special kernel input device. Instead, both kernel messages as well as
messages emitted via syslog() are received from a single source.
<p>This module obeys the Solaris door() mechanism to detect a running syslogd
instance. As such, only one can be active at one time. If it detects another
active intance at startup, the module disables itself, but rsyslog will
continue to run.
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$IMSolarisLogSocketName &lt;name&gt;</strong><br>
This is the name of the log socket (stream) to read. If not given, /dev/log
is read.
</li>
</ul>
<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
<p>None currently known. For obvious reasons, works on Solaris, only (and compilation
will most probably fail on any other platform).
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p>The following sample pulls messages from the default log source
