mmrm1stspace: First Space Modification Module

Module Name:

mmrm1stspace

Author:

Pascal Withopf <pascalwithopf1@gmail.com>

Purpose

In rfc3164 the msg begins at the first letter after the tag. It is often the case that this is an unnecessary space. This module removes this first character if it is a space.

Configuration Parameters

Currently none.

Examples

This example receives messages over imtcp and modifies them, before sending them to a file.

module(load="imtcp")
module(load="mmrm1stspace")
input(type="imtcp" port="13514")
action(type="mmrm1stspace")
action(type="omfile" file="output.log")
