I'm not understanding, what file do you think it should be creating?
each syslog server needs to have a rule of what to do with log messages, if no
message matches, that syslog server will just ignore the log message.
*.* @dest is a rule that matches everything, but in your configuration, you have
rules that anything with local5 or local7 that has http as the program name will
be thrown away before you get down to the *.* @dest rule

Then, unless you have something throwing logs away before that (some line
matching the logs with a destination of ~), the logs will be forwarded.

Here is my config...
I do have the *.* @destination already.

you need to add a line to forward the logs.
Without seeing the rest of your configuration, we can't say if it's going to be
forwarded by an existing configuration.
My personal belief is that logs are small enough bandwidth wise, and
rsyslog is fast enough that I tjust do
*.* @destination
(for UDP forwarding), adjust for other forwarding methods if needed)
and then throw away logs I don't care about later. I find that too many times
logs that nobody thinks are important end up being critical to figuring out
some problem. So it's just easier to send and archive everything.

Well ok so I followed the doc that explains how to setup httpd access and error logs to
be configured to use rsyslog. I think it "mostly" works. I have a file that is
created that is in /var/log/httpd-access.log which is on my remote machine.
How do I get that to be forwarded to my central syslog server?
Plus I think I did something wrong on rsyslog.conf about the errors. When I
followed the instructions (even used the example given) nothing happens.

When setting rsyslog to obtain httpd logs I did the following:
In httpd.conf
ErrorLog syslog:local7
In rsyslog.conf
Would I add the rule like this?
Local1.err /var/log/apache.err
Or for the file use any file name? And will this file be forwarded to my
central syslog server.
