do rsyslogd -N2 and see if it reports any errors[/quote:3pt9kp6l]

Thanks for the response!  Here's what I get with -N2:


[code:3pt9kp6l]root at monad2:/var/opt/syslog_by_ip/172.16.10.223#
rsyslogd -f /etc/rsyslog.conf -N2
rsyslogd: version 7.4.4, config validation run (level 2),
master config /etc/rsyslog.conf
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

So there don't appear to be any syntax errors in it.  If anything, I'd
expect to see issues with the content of the if expression, but that
results in the junk continuing to appear both on disk and in graylog.  The
expression I have does stop the junk from hitting the disk, but it's still
going into the graylog.  This is what is baffling me.  I've checked the
appliance myself, and my syslog server is the only place it's configured to
send syslog to.  So, I'm still stumped.
