Hi Keith, rsyslog.conf is read sequentially, so wherever you have your include directive (more details here https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/rainerscript/include.html) is where your new config file(s) will be read.
Your included config (and the directories leading to it) need to be readable by rsyslog, so you'd typically give them the same owner&permissions as the initial rsyslog.conf.
