Dear all,

I have a Debian 9 machine and want to receive and store logs from an external 
hardware devices (SIP-ISDN gateways for instance). The gateway type supports 
remote logging via syslog.

I have checked and tried a number of tutorials, but none of them made my fully 
happy. What I want to achieve is:

Keep the local logging and files untouched
Write the remote logs in distinct directories
But, whatever I tried so far, I had remote logging messages also in 
/var/log/syslog or the local logs were written to 
/var/log/%THE_LOCAL_HOSTNAME%/ ...

So, apparently, my rsyslog configs so far did not correctly distinguish between 
local and remote.

Consider the following tutorial:
https://www.tecmint.com/install-rsyslog-centralized-logging-in-centos-ubuntu/

If I use that configuration, the problem is that the logs of the local machine 
are also written into a directory meant for the remote logs.

Any hints?

Regards,
Jens
