7 years ago I’ll need to check more about the *.emerg messages, but do you not get this in the default rsyslog.conf from the module?
#
Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.
# .emerg
I was assuming that would suffice and we wouldn’t need the same line in client.conf, but my assumption could be incorrect.
I do see the issue with the freebsd gating in #228, as we had to put the other lines back – I just didn’t know if emergency was necessary or not.

I think the opposite is true. I am not getting ANY emergency messages on Red Hat systems. See #228https://github.com/saz/puppet-rsyslog/issues/228

1) The default rsyslog.conf (templates/rsyslog.conf.erb) appears to cover _.emerg for everyone, whether or not local logging is enabled, correct? <% if @rsyslog_version and @rsyslog_version.split('.')[0].toi >= 7 -%> *.emerg :omusrmsg: <% else -%> .emerg <% end -%>
Those lines are duplicated in templates/client/local.conf.erb for freebsd. Should they be removed from the local.conf.erb template? (I don't have any freebsd servers, but I was looking at PR #216 and the emergency lines were confusing me.)
