What does this comment in rsyslog.conf mean?

Question

linux

Hello.

At the very bottom of the /etc/rsyslog.conf file there are lines like this . At least in CentOS 7 they are.

# ### begin forwarding rule ###
# The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding
# rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple
# forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block!
# Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery)
#
# An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is
# down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again.
#$ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files
#$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g   # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible)
#$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown
#$ActionQueueType LinkedList   # run asynchronously
#$ActionResumeRetryCount -1    # infinite retries if host is down
# remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
#*.* @@remote-host:514
# ### end of the forwarding rule ###

I don't understand what is meant by
The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block!

translator broken? ok
, the lines between begin and end define one forward rule. Don't split lines, don't spread. If you need more rules - copy the entire block.
