two thigns have been giving me grief
1. when doing filtering in rsyslog, it would be _very_ nice if you would
accept single quotes everywhere you accept double quotes. currently
rsyslog just dies (with no useful error message) if you quote a string
like 'this' instead of "this"
2. as I am dealing with garbage logs from different vendors I am running
into many special case situations where I can detect the breakage and
define how to fix it, but it gets very cumbersom to have a dozen different
sets of formats (one for writing locally, one for forwarding), and then
for each detected condition list all of the actions (with the particular
formats for that condition)
it would be _very_ nice if there was some way to fix the internal
variables so that I could have the conditional and then code to fix up the
hostname, syslogtag, message, etc to then fall through to one set of
formats and actions.
