One big mistake you are making is that you are adding a ! where you shouldn't
it's $timereported, not $!timereported
$! is reserved for user-defined or parsed) variables
log to disk with the format RSYSLOG_DebugFormat and you will see all the
different variables that are defined.
If you still have a problem, please provide an example log message
what you think the log message is
the $rawmsg property (or ideally, everything from the DebugFormat output
what you thought that you should get instead.

Subject: [rsyslog] Handling of variables and input from remote messages
I am running in a strange behavior in handling of variables and input from
remote messages.
a) remote messages
The template "plain-syslog" works NOT for remote messages - The variables
values are NULL if messages from remote are processed.
The template "workarround" works - but only for no $! properties
($!country_code becomes NULL every time).
b) local messages
Everything works fine
I am not sure if this is a configuration or a code issue (Tested with
rsyslog 8.2.2).
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards
Joerg
