Configuration

Since version 6, Rsyslog is configured in a simple procedural language called RainerScript whose syntax should seem familiar to users of any language in the C extended family. The elements of the classic syslogd configuration format are carried forward as statements in RainerScript, so configuration files for syslogd or sysklogd should work in Rsyslog without modification.
