I need to filter messages based on executable names.
myapp.exe should be put in mysql
mahesh should be put in /var/log/messages
and the remaining can go in /var/log/127.0.0.1/syslog.log

myapp.*;
:ommysql:localhost,Syslog,sysloguser,root123

mahesh.* :/var/log/messages

$template FILENAME,"/var/log/%fromhost-ip%/syslog.log"
*.* ?FILENAME
But when I restart rsyslog (service rsyslog restart) I get an error in
syslog.log

Kindly help me

you cannot just put the name of the app on the line and expect rsyslog to know what to do with it.

facility.severity filters only work with the predefined facilities. you can't invent your own.

review the filtering capabilities at:
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog_conf_filter.html

but note that since you are using such an old version, the rainerscript capabilities are far less than what this page talks about.
