Hi, I recommend to not stick to the facility limitation of the last century's syslogd and rather filter by program name.
You could add something like this to your rsyslog.conf: :programname,isequal,"openvpn" @192.168.0.1 or, if you have multiple instances of openvpn and set a different program name, e.g. $ openvpn --config service1.ovpn --syslog "openvpn-service1" you could also filter for a prefix: :programname,startswith,"openvpn" @192.168.0.1 Of course, 192.168.0.1 needs to be replaced by your log server (@@ if you want to use tcp instead of udp).
