/* rsyslog configuration file (for Red Hat-based systems)
 * note that most of this config file uses old-style format,
 * because it is well-known AND quite suitable for simple cases
 * like we have with the default config. For more advanced 
 * things, RainerScript configuration is suggested.

 * For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html

# ### begin forwarding rule ###
# The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding
# rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple
# forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block!
# Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery)
#
# An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is
# down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again.
