Hello David,Indeed the information you have provided is useful. Another follow 
up question.
In case of using imjournal to filter systemd-journald log that is being 
forwarded to rsyslog-v8, what property I can use in rsyslog config for such log 
filtering? What if the journald log entry contain custom field that I want to 
use as the filtering condition?

Thanks,Patrick

 rsyslog does not change it's config during a run (with the exception of the 
table_lookup() function, which may work for you)

syslog can filter on anything it knows about, so if you fetch from journald 
with 
imjournal so that you can see all the metadata that journald takes the time to 
lookup, you can filter on any of it. If you have journald write to a socket for 
rsyslog to read, journald doesn't send that metadata (and refuses to consider 
doing so, I've asked)

does this answer your questions?
