Message generator source

This example source plugin generates a message every freq() seconds based on its template() option.

Please note that template() is a source-side template, only message-independent macros can be used.

Usage

options {
  use-uniqid(yes);
};
 
source s_generator {
  example-msg-generator(
    template("-- ${ISODATE} ${LOGHOST} ${UNIQID} Generated message. --")
    freq(0.5)
  );
};
 
log {
  source(s_generator);
 
  destination {
    file("/dev/stdout");
  };
};
