[Bug 1575337] Re: syslog.log is completely empty

[Andres Rodriguez]

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.
