pseudofile

The pseudofile() destination driver is a very simple driver, aimed at delivering messages to special files. It opens and closes the file after each write operation, instead of keeping it open.

Testing

The pseudofile() driver has a single required argument, specifying a filename, that is, the file to write messages to, including the path.

Note: The pseudofile() driver does not support templates in the filename.

Configuration file used

@version: 3.33
@include "scl.conf"

source custom
{
    example-msg-generator(
        num(20)
        freq(5)
        template("Message to Terminal using Pseudofile")
    );
};

destination d_pseudofile {
    pseudofile("/dev/stdout" template("${ISODATE} ${HOST} ${MESSAGE}\n"));
};


log {
    source(custom);
    destination(d_pseudofile);
};
