The other thing is that it may be that app-name doesn't exist in such an old version.

Why are you using app-name instead of programname?

Well, I tried changing it to single quotes and that completely broke rsyslog. 
It would crash on startup, no error messages or anything. I also tried no 
quotes, but that failed just like single quotes. I also tried adding spaces 
after the commas, but that made no difference. I noticed that in the default 
redhat config all the modules had .so after them, whereas my ubuntu config 
didn't. It seemed like I could do it either way on the $ModLoad line, but 
perhaps I need to do :omrelp.so: when using it?

the first thing that I always look at is should you use " or ' rsyslog 4.x
only accepts one, and I _think_ I remember it's '

Hi,

I'm getting an error with rsyslog 4.6.2 on redhat 6 with the line:

:app-name,contains,"DataNode" :omrelp:opbhdname001:20514;RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat

The error line in /var/log/messages is:

Apr 25 19:51:55 opbhddata001 rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.d/10-datanode.conf, 
line 1:":app-name,contains,"DataNode"       
:omrelp:opbhdname001:20514;RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat"

I don't get that error with 5.8.1 on ubuntu. I looked through the documentation 
under /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-4.6.2 and it looks like I'm doing it right, can 
you help me out?
