UDP spoofing output module (omudpspoof)

Module Name:    omstdout

Author: David Lang <david@lang.hm> and Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>

Available Since: 5.1.3

Description:

This module is similar to the regular UDP forwarder, but permits to spoof the sender address. Also, it enables to circle through a number of source ports.

Caveats/Known Bugs:

Sample:

The following sample forwards all syslog messages in standard form to the remote server server.example.com. The original sender's address is used. We do not care about the source port. This example is considered the typical use case for omudpspoof.

The following sample forwards all syslog messages in unmodified form to the remote server server.example.com. The sender address 192.0.2.1 with fixed source port 514 is used.

The following sample is similar to the previous, but uses as many defaults as possible. In that sample, a source port in the range 32000..42000 is used. The message is formatted according to rsyslog's canned default forwarding format. Note that if any parameters have been changed, the previously set defaults will be used!
