$ModDir — rsyslog 8.2502.0 documentation

# $ModDir

Type: global configuration parameter

Default: system default for user libraries, e.g. /usr/local/lib/rsyslog/

Description:

Provides the default directory in which loadable modules reside. This may be used to specify an alternate location that is not based on the system default. If the system default is used, there is no need to specify this parameter. Please note that it is vitally important to end the path name with a slash, else module loads will fail.

Sample:

`$ModDir /usr/rsyslog/libs/ # note the trailing slash!`
