So in general, you can take a "normal" syslog.conf and +use it together with rsyslogd. It will understand everything. However, +to use most of rsyslogd's unique features, you need to add extended +configuration directives.</p> +<p>Rsyslogd supports the classical, selector-based rule lines. +They are still at the heart of it and all actions are initiated via +rule lines. A rule lines is any line not starting with a $ or the +comment sign (#). Lines starting with $ carry rsyslog-specific +directives.</p> +<p>Every rule line consists of two fields, a selector field and +an action field. These two fields are separated by one or more spaces +or tabs. The selector field specifies a pattern of facilities and +priorities belonging to the specified action.<br> +<br> +Lines starting with a hash mark ("#'') and empty lines are ignored. +</p> + +<p>[<a href="manual.html">manual index</a>] +[<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">rsyslog.conf</a>] +[<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog site</a>]</p> +<p><font size="2">This documentation is part of the +<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog</a> project.<br> +Copyright © 2008-2010 by <a href="http://www.gerhards.net/rainer">Rainer Gerhards</a> and +<a href="http://www.adiscon.com/">Adiscon</a>.
