The original examples were provided as pieces of a working configuration...
template(name="dynaName" type="string"
string="/soft/rsyslog/%hostname%.log")
*.debug {
action(
type="omfile"
name="debugActionName"
template="templateName"
dynafile="dynaName"
)
}
*.info {
action(
type="omfile"
name="infoActionName"
template="templateName"
file="/soft/rsyslog/everything.info.log"
)
}
It was corrupted somewhere to...
*.info {
action(
type="omfile"
name="debugActionName"
template="dynaName"
dynafile="dynaName"
)
}
...and as noted by others, using "dynaName" as the specification for
both template and dynafile is causing the behavior you see.
The original example does not provide the code for
template="templateName". In fact, if you remove the template
specifications entirely from the original examples perhaps it is easier
to understand the difference. As such, perhaps this is a better example...
template(name="dynaName" type="string"
string="/soft/rsyslog/%hostname%.debug.log")
*.debug {
action(
type="omfile"
name="debugActionName"
dynafile="dynaName"
)
}
*.info {
action(
type="omfile"
name="infoActionName"
file="/soft/rsyslog/everything.info.log"
)
}

This above part does not work well ;) The log files per host are
filled with this, where sysl2 is the name of %hostname% and the
template is :
template(name="dynaName" type="string"
string="/soft/rsyslog/%hostname%.log")
/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.log/soft/rsyslog/sysl2.logbe-s
template is what to write in the file
dynafile is the path to write to
you are saing to write the path into the file (and with no newline,
you get just one long line with the path repeating)
