Use this documentation with care! It describes
the heavily outdated version 5, which was actively
developed around 2010 and is considered dead by the
rsyslog team for many years now.
This documentation reflects the latest update of the
previously existing (now removed) v5-stable branch.
It describes the 5.10.2 version, which was never
released. As such, it contains some content that
does not apply to any released version.
To obtain the doc that properly matches your installed
v5 version, obtain the doc set from your distro. Each
version of rsyslog contained the version that exactly
matches it.
As general advise, it is strongly suggested to
upgrade to the current version supported by the rsyslog
project. The current version can always be found on
the right-hand side info box on the
rsyslog web site.
Note that there is no rsyslog community support available
for this heavily outdated version. If you need to stick
with it, please ask your distribution for support.
Receives syslog messages via RFC 3195. The RAW profile is fully implemented and the COOKED profile is provided in an experimental state. This module uses liblogging for the actual protocol handling.

$Input3195ListenPort <port>The port on which imklog listens for RFC 3195 messages. The default port is 601 (the IANA-assigned port)
Due to no demand at all for RFC3195, we have converted rfc3195d to this input module, but we have NOT conducted any testing. Also, the module does not yet properly handle the recovery case. If someone intends to put this module into production, good testing should be cunducted. It also is a good idea to notify the rsyslog project that you intend to use it in production. In this case, we’ll probably give the module another cleanup. We don’t do this now because so far it looks just like a big waste of time.
Currently only a single listener can be defined. That one binds to all interfaces.
The following sample accepts syslog messages via RFC 3195 on port 1601.
