Hi dlang,

Thank you for the prompt response!

1) Can you direct me to the documentation/API that outlines ALL of the
variables, syntax, etc for v7+?  I've been unable to locate a "complete"
source.
2) Sample logs, as in from the remote server/router?  I can provide.  I see
them coming from the remote host via tcpdump.
3) There are no confs in the /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory.  Vanilla CentOS6.5
install with the upgrade from rsyslog v5 to v7.4.9 as outlined in my
original post.
4) Odd - I don't disagree with the correction on the variable name, but I
will say infactically, that rsyslogd -f /etc/rsyslog.conf -N1 succeeds. 
Below I cat the current config, stop the service, and validate the config
file.  You'll notice I'm using the "incorrect" $fromip variable.

[code:nkoxwzeo][root at syslog1 log]# cat /etc/rsyslog.conf
# 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.

#### MODULES ####

module(load="imuxsock") # provides support for local system logging
(e.g. via logger command)
module(load="imklog")   # provides kernel logging support (previously done
by rklogd)
#module(load"immark")  # provides --MARK-- message capability

# Provides UDP syslog reception
# for parameters see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imudp.html
module(load="imudp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imudp" port="514")

# Provides TCP syslog reception
# for parameters see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imtcp.html
module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imtcp" port="514")

I'll add line and restart and see what happens.

Thank you =)
