Input
=====
.. index:: ! input
.. _cfgobj_input:
The ``input`` object, as its name suggests, describes message input sources.
Without input, no processing happens at all, because no messages enter the
rsyslog system.
Inputs are implemented via :doc:`input modules <modules/idx_input>`.
The input object has different parameters:
- those that apply to all input and are generally available for
all inputs. These are documented below.
- input-specific parameters. These are specific to a certain type of
input. They are documented by the :doc:`input module <modules/idx_input>`
in question.
General Input Parameters
------------------------
Note: parameter names are case-insensitive.
.. function:: type <type-string>
*Mandatory*
The ``<type-string>`` is a string identifying the input module as given
it each module's documentation. For example, the
:doc:`UDP syslog input <modules/imudp>` is named "imudp".
