ok, so I think what the issue is. I found a different rule that would do: & ~
However, that means " stop logging anything that matches the last rule", however, instead of stopping just that rule, it was stopping everything. The reason why this was stopping everything is because it didn't really match the last rle, provided that the last rule was wrapped in an if statement, hence it was completely stopping rsyslog logging. ** No longer affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: maas Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: systemd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575337 Title: syslog.log is completely empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1575337/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
