rsyslog filtering and forwarding
<p>I'm trying to achieve filtering and forwarding using a rsyslog vm.</p>
<p>When I use</p>
<pre><code>*.* @@192.168.1.100:514
</code></pre>
<p>It forwards all logs to that log server.</p>
<p>What I need to do is filter out logs that contain 'testing' and 'flow' and also prevent logs from localhost from being sent to the log server.</p>
<p>I have tried many ways of achieving this combination and failed. I just don't receive any logs to the destination once I use filters.</p>
<p>The remaining full contents of the rsyslog.conf is</p>
<pre><code># rsyslog configuration file
