Hi,
     I have similar attached file which is syslog-ng. I am unable to map
the syntax of syslog-ng.conf. I am trying to insert my own application logs
from this.
If some can tell how can i map source,destination,filter and log statements.

In rsyslog, you normally don't think about the source.

at the beginning of your configuration, you define all your sources.

Then below you define filters and actions. The filters can take the source into account if you need them to, but usually that doesn't need to be done.

rsyslog v 7.x allows for several new things in terms of filters and syntax that can simplify your configuration

I have kind of similar file: syslog-ng.conf...Can someone help me to port
belwo syntax to rsyslog.conf.
Can i use the syslog-ng.conf as rsyslog.conf ?
It would be good help if some really help on this..

source s_rackware_remote {
      udp();
};

with v7 this would just be

@destination

with 5.x and earlier this would be

*.* @destination

template t_received_time { template("$R_DATE $HOST $MSG\n");
template_escape(no); };

I don't know what template t_received_time means.

destination df_messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

filter f_at_least_info   { level(info..emerg); }

log {
       source(s_all);
       filter(f_syslog);
       destination(df_syslog);
};

*.info /var/log/messages

The problem is that people here are not going to be that familiar with the
syslog-ng config syntax.

For me, that syntax is one of the big reasons for not using syslog-ng 10
years ago. I can figure it out, but it would take a lot of time looking
through the syslog-ng docs.

As was suggested when you asked before, you are probably better off just
starting the new configuration from scratch. If you understand what your
old config does it shouldn't be hard to create the new config, and if you
get stuck, if you can explain in english what you are trying to do, we can
help you do it.
