1) Just install rsyslog with default configuration (it will be placed in /etc/rsyslog.d/)
```yaml

remote_user: root
sudo: no
- roles:
- { role: rsyslog }
```
2) Install rsyslog, without default configuration and setup two different custom stanzas
```yaml
- hosts: all
remote_user: root
sudo: no
vars:
rsyslog_default_config: False
roles:
- role: rsyslog
items:
- name: "20-iptables"
lines:
- ':msg, contains, "iptables" /var/log/iptables.log'
- '& ~'
- name: "30-dovecot"
lines:
- 'if $programname == "dovecot" and $syslogseverity <= "6" then ~'
- '& ~'
```
3) Enable rsyslog server
```yaml
- hosts: all
roles:
- { role: ../../roles/ansible-rsyslog-custom, "rsyslog_server": yes }
```
