This is what I see there. Host name would be box9, 192.168.1.9, or
localhost. I tried all three.
Router Identification
Router Name tomato
Hostname localhost
Domain Name
and I changed to:
/etc/rsyslog.d/emptyfile
:source, isequal, tomato /var/log/tomato.log
:source, isequal, tomato ~
Still zero data in /var/log/tomato.log
[root at box9 rsyslog.d]# ll /var/log/tomato.log
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 0 Aug 19 13:45 /var/log/tomato.log
