[rsyslog] Arbitrary string replacements

[Ori Bani]

Hi,

I understand that arbitrary replacements on log messages is not
supported by rsyslog.  I found a thread that explains it here:

http://lists.adiscon.net/pipermail/rsyslog/2009-June/002317.html

I'd like to give my vote for adding this feature.  I have the same
requirement (or similar) to the OP of that thread.  For now, I have to
use syslog-ng, which I understand has recently already implemented
this feature, or if I want to use rsyslog, I have to drop (discard)
the messages that have information that I am not allowed to keep in my
logs (that with IP addreses):

# This discards any message with an IP (ver. 4) address in it
:msg, regex, "[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]"              ~
