Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.0-21.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: Property-based filter is added to the files output, the forwards output, and the remote_files output of the Logging role. Reason: Filtering log messages by the properties such as hostname, tag, and the message itself is useful to manage logs. Result: The feature is provided by the underlying sub-role rsyslog and made available to configure via the Logging role.

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

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

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!
