Hi, I noticed recently on some older machines how my /var/log/ was getting spammed by duplicate messages, and was very happy to see that newer machines aren't suffering from it, because of the cleanups in the global rules done a couple of years back, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/commits/debian/master/debian/rsyslog.conf?ref_type=heads This helps alleviate some of the concerns from the older comments in this bug report.
The general issue remains - should the default rsyslog config be split up into .d/ files. The general trend has been in favor of doing this, because it should ease customization by users. Are we worried that there are some dependencies on the files created by the default rules? TIA. -- Josip Rodin
