152.3. Blocker (om_blocker)

Table of Contents

This module is mostly for testing purposes. It will block log messages in order to simulate a blocked route, like when a network transport output module such as om_tcp blocks because of a network problem.

The sleep() procedure can also be used for testing by simulating log message delays.

Note	To examine the supported platforms, see the list of installer packages in the Available Modules chapter.

152.3.1. Configuration

The om_blocker module accepts only the common module directives.

152.3.2. Examples

Example 924. Testing Buffering With the om_blocker Module

Because the route in this configuration is blocked, this will test the behavior of the configured memory-based buffer.
