I'm confused by this new addition in 5.10.0. I get this message in response to

please change syntax, '*' will not be supported in the future [try

Oct 5 19:43:07 sj2-noc01 rsyslogd: the last warning occured in /etc/rsyslog.conf, line

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
This really is plain jane normal syslog standard lines. What confuses me is
that it doesn't complain about *.warn just a few lines later.
it's not the '*' in '*.emerg' that it's complaining about, it's the * as
the destination.
In this case you are wanting to send the message to all users, so the
omusrmesg:* is the right thing to do, but it's a confusing syntax and
there are going to be people who think a destination of * means to write
it to all outputs. I'm guessing that that's why the warning message is
there.
Also, why do we keep getting error messages that include urls that just
give us errors?

Error, could not find any events with these filters.
there was a new rsyslog website rolled out, and it looks like it may have
broken some of these links
