RainerScript version of /etc/rsyslog.conf for Ubuntu with rsyslog 8+

rsyslog.conf

#  /etc/rsyslog.conf    Configuration file for rsyslog.
#
#                       For more information see
#                       /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html
#
#  Default logging rules can be found in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
#
#  WARNING: This config has been converted to RainerScript format which could
#    affect config files provided by other software in /etc/rsyslog.d/
#  It should behave the same as the legacy-format config file that ships
#    with Ubuntu 14.04.1 rsyslog 7.4.4
#  The default Ubuntu file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf does not need to be
#    modified, as it is already in the preferred format
# 
#  You should be using rsyslog v8 or higher with this config
#  You can install rsyslog v8 on Ubuntu 14.04 like this:
#     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adiscon/v8-stable
#     sudo apt-get update
#     sudo apt-get install rsyslog
