I'm trying to log messages from my router, it can send messages to syslog. However I can't find anywhere any documentation on what 'selectors' should look like in /etc/rsyslog.conf, let alone how I would select messages from my router. Can anyone point me at anything useful please. -- Chris Green

A quick Google led me to this rsyslogd FAQ: http://www.rsyslog.com/Article60.phtml which might be of use ... Peter.
