The sockunix<\/code> module reads raw packets from a Unix UDP socket (AF_UNIX<\/code>, SOCK_DGRAM<\/code>).<\/p>\n

The sockunix<\/code> module is\u00a0 an input module<\/a>, meaning that its purpose is to read data from some sources, and convert it to Orchids events.\u00a0 The sources\u00a0 should be declared in the orchids-inputs.conf<\/code><\/a> file.\u00a0 Admissible sources are UDP\u00a0(SOCK_DGRAM<\/code>) local connections (AF_UNIX<\/code>).<\/p>\n

The sockunix<\/code> module reads from these sources and produces Orchids events, one per UDP packet.\u00a0 The contents of each packet will then be found in the .sockunix.msg<\/code> field of the event.<\/p>\n

Configuration options<\/h3>\n

None.<\/p>\n

(The sockunix<\/code> module in fact understands the special INPUT<\/code> directive.\u00a0 It takes a socket name as argument, and connects to that socket.\u00a0 This should not<\/em> be used inside the sockunix<\/code> module configuration file.\u00a0 Instead, input should be specified in the orchids-inputs.conf<\/code><\/a> file.)<\/p>\n

Fields<\/h3>\n

The last field is .sockunix.msg<\/code>, available for further dissection; the dissection key is .sockunix.socket<\/code>, which is the name of the local Unix socket.<\/p>\n
