I see what you mean - https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/rainerscript/control_structures.html#if is not generic enough. It should just say if(expr) and refer to the expression definition that exists before the "if" definition. > > if ($syslogseverity <= "6") -- R.H.S value must be enclosed within "". > no, you do not need to enclose numerical values that are meant as numerical values into "". You only do that if you want strings. Here, it makes no sense at all to me.
