# $ModLoad

Type: global configuration directive

Default:

Description:

Dynamically loads a plug-in into rsyslog’s address space and activates it. The plug-in must obey the rsyslog module API. Currently, only MySQL and Postgres output modules are available as a plugins, but users may create their own. A plug-in must be loaded BEFORE any configuration file lines that reference it.

Modules must be present in the system default destination for rsyslog modules. You can also set the directory via the $ModDir directive.

If a full path name is specified, the module is loaded from that path. The default module directory is ignored in that case.

Sample:

`$ModLoad ommysql # load MySQL functionality $ModLoad /rsyslog/modules/ompgsql.so # load the postgres module via absolute path`
