[LOGG-2154] Rsyslog `target=` detection is incomplete
Author: FederAndInkCreated Aug 7, 2026Updated Aug 7, 2026
Describe the bug keywords in rsyslog are case insensitive and the examples have upper case parameters
this triggers a false positive for remote logging when using uppercase Target= as it only checks for target=:
