+# -- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE --
+# xenserver.conf contains the XenServer/XCP-ng specific logging configurations
+#
+# Remote forwarding must be configured via Xen Orchestra, which will ask XAPI to
+# generate file /etc/rsyslog.d/remote.conf (do not edit that file either).
+#
+# Any other rsyslog configuration change must be avoided.
+# However, if there are no other options, they must be evaluated with technical support
+# representatives, and written to a file named /etc/rsyslog.d/custom.conf.
+# Note that there are no guarantees regarding the order in which rules from different
+# files are applied.
