Add output support for AWS Kinesis

[frankfarrell]

[frankfarrell]

Kinesis like all aws services works over a REST interface and records could be batched. Perhaps the most useful thing in general would be a general http output module and it should be easy enough to create a kinesis output based on that. I'd be very happy to contribute but I'm not much of a c programmer

sounds like omhttp or omhttpfs contributed modules? https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/tree/master/contrib

[frankfarrell]

Thanks for the pointer, I will try to get it to work!

omhttp isn't listed in the 8.39 documentation. Has a release with omhttp been made yet? https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/idx_output.html

[rgerhards]

It's a contributed module, so it is included but that's it. It depends on users and contributors to grow.

Is there documentation on using omhttp available anywhere? If so where would I find it?

[rgerhards]

I would suggest contacting the original contributor @ctramnitz, see https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/2782

If there is someone willing to add documentation, I can help with some basic information on the module (based on what I can see in the source), but I really have no idea what exactly it does and what the use case is. But note that I really would like to have someone contribute the doc if I look into it.

@PascalWithopf would you be willing to add a small page with whatever little you know about the module? It should state that the page is incomplete, but maybe that motivates future contributors...

@rgerhards I added a basic documentation.

I added a basic documentation.

Where's that, then?

For anyone looking - it is now here: https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/configuration/modules/omhttp.html

I have yet to try it out with Kinesis, though.
