I've been running into a bunch of subtle config problems today none of which show up by running rsyslogd -N1 (running v8.8 on ubuntu)

I've been seeing that the case of the parameter names matters, I thought they were squashed to lower case

  action(type="omfile" File="/var/log/pstats" name="pstats_local")

didn't work but

  action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/pstats" name="pstats_local")

did work

Also, things that are documented as being default don't seem to actually work that way

@10.1.50.64;structured_forwarding

works

action(type="omfwd" name="spoof-out" target="10.1.50.64" protocol="udp" 
template="structured_forwarding")

doesn't work

action(type="omfwd" name="spoof-out" target="10.1.50.64" port="514" protocol="udp" 
template="structured_forwarding")

does work.

The documentation page says:

Port [Default 514]

this both says that I shouldn't need to put it in, and if I put it in with a capial 'P' it would work.
