The configuration file and the console are ingesting Lua, and you can't
use named arguments to a function the way you are trying to do it. The
documentation is formatted that way to provide the default values but is
not intended to be copy/pasted. Please try this instead:

rl2 = newRemoteLogger('129.132.128.247:10533', 2, 100, 2)
