In my limited experience I've managed to use both in similar ways, though by passing '$!' to a remote node I understand[1] that I'm not including the local variables. Those values are stored within '$.' instead.

For setting values within a configuration for reference within templates, functions and parameters, (ignoring whether I wish to pass the values on later) is there a functional difference between the two?

On a related note, though I see that global variables are covered in the "Log Filtering with Rsyslog" article[2] by David Lang and mentioned as a v8 official feature, I didn't find many references to it in the current v8 documentation. Am I overlooking something?

Thanks.
