Syslog is reported to the local server as the `hostname`. If your
hostname is localhost, it should work - but I doubt that it is. Try
the boxes hostname in the filter instead and see what happens.

Quoting Scott Baker <[email protected]>:
I have my rsyslog logging to a bunch of different files from remote
sources, but the local syslog stuff isn't working. Below is my config,
and nothing is showing up in maillog, messages, etc. If I comment out
the line
:source , !isequal , "localhost" ~
Everything ends up in those local files. I'm guessing that filter isn't
what I want to filter out everything isn't from the local box?
