Hi Steve,

Many thanks for your response.
I will be reading the presentation and the examples in the tarball and go from there for implementing my processing plugin.

Regarding the logging to disk on the central server:
I have node names set up for both servers now and am now getting the following behaviour:
   On the client server I can see the events being prefixed with node=Elephant in the log on that server.
   On the central server I can see that local events are being prefixed with node=Mongoose.
   However, events that were sent to the central server by the client server show up in the central server's log with
   node=localhost.localdomain. So it seems that the node information gets lost between the client and central server?

Would you have any idea why the node information is lost?

Many thanks,

Wouter
