I have in my rsyslog.conf on my listener phenex.localnet for my home gateway aka hell.localnet:
module(
load="imudp"
)
input(
type="imudp"
port="514"
)
:syslogtag,contains,"led-manager" stop #stop bursts of pace-5031 led-manager messages
:syslogtag,contains,"lmd" stop #pace-5031 will attempt dhcpc6 even though ipv6 disabled, filter it
What I am trying to accomplish is to stop these messages from entering its log file, which I've set up with dynafile elsewhere in the configuration. They tend to burst in 10-15 messages at a time at indeterminate intervals and there is no way to turn them off at the gateway device, thus, I'd like to filter them out at the listener.

I'm using Rainer script and I can't seem to nail down the syntax for this. I thought it would be good to approach this with an if-then ruleset() specific to the hell.localnet host. I've been reading documentation and examples for hours and just a little stuck here. The configuration runs cleanly with no errors described when i run sudo systemctl restart rsyslog and then sudo systemctl status rsyslog. The :syslogtag lines are simply non-functional.
