Comment 4 YongkuiGuo 2019-11-15 09:53:08 UTC 
Verified with package:
augeas-1.12.0-4.el8.x86_64

Steps:

1. /etc/rsyslog.conf file with ampersand selector
# vi /etc/rsyslog.conf
... 
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log
local3.err                                              /var/log/nfsen/nfsenlog
& /var/log/also.log

2.
# augtool print /files/etc/rsyslog.conf
...
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/selector
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/selector/facility = "local3"
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/selector/level = "err"
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/action[1]
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/action[1]/file = "/var/log/nfsen/nfsenlog"
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/action[2]
/files/etc/rsyslog.conf/entry[8]/action[2]/file = "/var/log/also.log"
...


The ampersand selector can be parsed in /etc/rsyslog.conf file. Verified it.
