Doc Text:	.The Logging System Role now supports property-based filter on its outputs With this update, property-based filters have been added to the files output, the forwards output, and the remote_files output of the Logging System Role. The feature is provided by underlying the `rsyslog` sub-role, and is configurable via the Logging RHEL System Role. As a result, users can benefit from the ability of filtering log messages by the properties, such as hostname, tag, and the message itself is useful to manage logs.	Story Points:	---

Description Noriko Hosoi 2020-10-19 18:52:31 UTC

Description of problem:
RHELPLAN-56797 - Logging - RFE - support property-based filters in the files and forwards outputs

https://github.com/linux-system-roles/logging/issues/179

In an rsyslog.conf file I would use the following:
:msg, startswith, "somefilter" -/var/log/output.log

Rsyslog doc: https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/filters.html

Hi David,
As described in #c1, there is a test case in the upstream CI to verify this bug.
Could you give a qa_ack+?
Thanks!
