# /etc/rsyslog.conf
# 
# This configuration is based on RainerScript, the new recommended syntax
# for RSYSLOG. See http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rainerscript.html for further
# details.
# 
# But if you don't want to learn something new at moment, don't worry: The
# legacy syntax is still supported.
# 
# You may want to use the new RSYSLOG configuration builder to create your
# own more advanced configuration: http://www.rsyslog.com/rsyslog-configuration-builder/

# Check config syntax on startup and abort if unclean (default: off)
#$AbortOnUncleanConfig on
