[rsyslog] $ModLoad imtcp or module(load="imtcp")

[Mauricio Tavares]

CentOS 6.4 has rsyslog 5.8.10 by default:

[root at scan ~]# rsyslogd -v
rsyslogd 5.8.10, compiled with:
FEATURE_REGEXP: Yes
FEATURE_LARGEFILE: No
GSSAPI Kerberos 5 support: Yes
FEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code): No
32bit Atomic operations supported: Yes
64bit Atomic operations supported: Yes
Runtime Instrumentation (slow code): No

See http://www.rsyslog.com for more information.
[root at scan ~]#

I thought that the module(load="imtcp") was the new way to configure modules,

# Provides TCP syslog reception
# $ModLoad imtcp
# $InputTCPServerRun 514
module(load="imtcp")
input(type="imtcp" port=514)

but it does not seem to like that:

Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd-3000: unknown priority name "" [try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 ]
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd: the last error occured in
/etc/rsyslog.conf, line 19:"module(load="imtcp")"
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions
will be discarded
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd-3000: unknown priority name "" [try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 ]
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd: the last error occured in
/etc/rsyslog.conf, line 20:"input(type="imtcp" port=514)"
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions
will be discarded
Mar 28 13:44:13 scan rsyslogd-2124: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret
master config file '/etc/rsyslog.conf'. [try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2124 ]

So, is this version too old to support the module(load) thingie?

Yes. To get access to the new configuration format you need to upgrade to at least v7.
