Perhaps I didn't understand your question.

Those man pages, along with the rsyslog.conf file will give you the  
general rules governing which messages get sent into which log files.   
Any particular messages will be a special case of those general  
rules.  I did say that they were cryptic.  So the application of the  
rules may require specialized knowledge, often available only by  
examining the source code.

Perhaps your question was prompted by the need for that specialized  
knowledge?  If that's the case, I apologize for misunderstanding.
