In the link I posted there is a description of syslogpriority-text -an alias

And that's my question as to what it is referencing.

ahh, in that case you use whichever one makes sense to you, some people think of it as priority, some as severity, rsyslog supports both names with identical content.

Happy Friday!

One last question. I modified the template a tad bit and added the following.

$template 
RemoteHost,"/var/log/hosts/%HOSTNAME%/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/%syslogseverity-text%.log.gz"

When looking at the http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/property_replacer.html documentation I see both 
"syslogseverity-text" and "syslogpriority-text"

My question is in this case I'm basically separating the files based
on the severity. In what instance would I use the alias for? I guess
I'm not fully understanding what its purpose is.

what are you referring to as the 'alias'?

I'm not understanding your question.
