Oh well. Thank you for the rapid response.
The reason I feel I need this (perhaps there is a better way) is that I am
running rsyslogd in a container as a forwarder, so it is listening for
connections and then forwarding it on. Because it is in a container, I do
not necessarily know the upstream target prior to deployment, so I wanted
to be able to create a config file that defined the upstream target and
have the base config load that second file, read in the (dynamic) target,
and use it.
But it sounds like the approach won't work. So I'll need to figure out
another way. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
