Comment 5 for bug 1575337

ok, so I think what the issue is. I found a different rule that would do:

& ~

However, that means " stop logging anything that matches the last rule", however, instead of stopping just that rule, it was stopping everything. The reason why this was stopping everything is because it didn't really match the last rle, provided that the last rule was wrapped in an if statement, hence it was completely stopping rsyslog logging.
