Title:
  default config still using a legacy keyword:
  KLogPermitNonKernelFacility

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  /etc/rsyslog.conf contains:

    $KLogPermitNonKernelFacility on

  But this no longer supported and trigger this log message:

   Jan  5 08:56:16 simon-laptop rsyslogd-: command
  'KLogPermitNonKernelFacility' is currently not permitted - did you
  already set it via a RainerScript command (v6+ config)? [v8.14.0 try
  http://www.rsyslog.com/e/ ]

  Error  is described as "legacy parameter no longer permitted".

  This legacy parameter causes config syntax checks (rsyslogd -N1) to
  fail.

Title:
  New style permitnonkernelfacility imklog option inside module()
  doesn't work

Status in Rsyslog:
  Unknown
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  artful 8.16.0-1ubuntu5 (which is way behind upstream and debian, btw)

  There are two ways to load the imklog module and pass it an option
  (PermitNonKernelFacility in this case).

  a) legacy
  $ModLoad imklog
  $KLogPermitNonKernelFacility on

  
  b) "new style", also referred to as "v6+":
  module(load="imklog" permitnonkernelfacility="on")

  For a while the ubuntu package was using a mix: loading the module
  with the new style, but setting the option via the legacy method. In
  bug #1531622 this was fixed for yakkety+.

  Problem is, upstream isn't honouring the new style option setting due
  to a bug of its own: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/477

  With the legacy config:
  #module(load="imklog" permitnonkernelfacility="on")
  $ModLoad imklog
  $KLogPermitNonKernelFacility on

  I get kernel messages in /var/log/syslog:
  root@nsn7:~# grep andreas-was-here /var/log/syslog
  root@nsn7:~# echo andreas-was-here > /dev/kmsg
  root@nsn7:~# grep andreas-was-here /var/log/syslog
  Jul 12 16:46:33 nsn7 kernel: [27774.476193] andreas-was-here
  root@nsn7:~#

  But with this new v6 config style:
  module(load="imklog" permitnonkernelfacility="on") # provides kernel logging 
support
  #$ModLoad imklog
  #$KLogPermitNonKernelFacility on

  The text doesn't show up in /var/log/syslog. That's the upstream bug.
