Well, you can filter on syslogtag 'kernel:'

Got it, so does this mean that even though it's coming from "syslogtag
'kernel:', programname: 'kernel', APP-NAME: 'kernel'" I need to construct
my rule to catch user.notice? How can I go about making an rsyslog message
that would get these messages into the logs without grabbing other stuff
(I'm guessing things other than kernel debug messages would come along with
that user.notice priority).

Thanks!

Pri 1,5 is user.notice, not kern.debug

the debug log will show you what happens in detail as you are processing
the log, including each test that is performed.

 Thanks for the reply! I did that and I do see my "hello world" message:
---
Debug line with all properties:
FROMHOST: 'HOSTNAME', fromhost-ip: '127.0.0.1', HOSTNAME: 'HOSTNAME',
PRI: 1
5,
syslogtag 'kernel:', programname: 'kernel', APP-NAME: 'kernel', PROCID:
'-', MSGID: '-',
TIMESTAMP: 'Nov  3 18:11:09', STRUCTURED-DATA: '-',
msg: 'Hello world!'
escaped msg: 'Hello world!'
inputname: imjournal rawmsg: 'Hello world!'
---

So now we've definitely confirmed that rsyslog is getting the message. Is
there a way to demonstrate that it's trying to write to /var/log/kern.log
as I've configured it (or that the message is going someplace else)?

Thanks again,
Zak

 If you log with the format RSYSLOG_DebugFormat you will be able to see
what the log shows up as

add the line:
/var/log/testing;RSYSLOG_DebugFormat
to your config file and see what shows up there as you load your module.

 Hi all,


I'm using CENTOS7 and I've been trying to get my KERN_DEBUG messages
into
a
log file (/var/log/kern.log), so I've added a file to rsyslog.d that
just
has this one line in it:
---
kern.=debug /var/log/kern.log
---

After restarting rsyslog and loading a "hello world" type module, I
still
don't get anything in that file (or /var/log/messages, since it only
seems
to show KERN_INFO, etc...). I've even tried creating the file manually,
ensuring permissions and SELinux contexts matched other stuff in
/var/log.

I then decided to run rsyslog with debug mode (plain old "rsyslogd -dn")
to
see if rsyslog was getting tickled when I loaded my module. Sure enough,
it
was. However, I cannot understand the debug output.

The output is included in this pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/wFdt7xYr

Can anyone help me interpret the debugging output or what I'm doing
wrong?

Thanks!
