   Hi,
   
   i tried to configure rsyslog to log messages for facility `local2` into a separate file, but no luck. It's always landing  in the daemon.log file (facility 3)...
   
   My rsyslog.conf:
   ```
   # /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file for rsyslog
   #
   # For more information install rsyslog-doc and see
   # /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/configuration/index.html

   If i run
