                          Trying to froward following logs from /home/ddlog/ms/logs/execution_logs/_abc-xyz-ms_* to VMware vRealize Log Insight using rsyslog. For some reason that does not seem to be working.

I have tried using imfile -

    # Now load the external log
    $InputFileName /home/ddlog/ms/logs/execution_logs/_abc-xyz-ms_*
    $InputFileTag ddlog
    $InputFileStateFile ms
    $InputFileSeverity debug
    $InputFileFacility local7
    $InputRunFileMonitor
    local7.*  @@hostname:514

Commenting out the imfile and updating the rsyslog.conf with the 

    *.* @@remote-host:514

seems to work perfectly fine but I am more concerned about forwarding specific logs.
