I have seen syslog messages over 4096 chars have the first part go to the right file and the overflow go to the default. Is smart sending a large message? The other file would have a long smart message at the same time and this would be overflow.

I've got an old PC running Truenas as a local server for backups,

I've got another PC I consider my "main" system running rsyslog.
On this PC I have tried (mostly successfully) to direct remote
syslog messages from the Truenas system to logfiles in a subdirectory
on my main system. This gibberish in my main system's rsyslog.conf
seems to do the trick:
# Log incoming message from remote systems here
$template DynamicFile,"/var/log/loghost/%HOSTNAME%/%syslogfacility-text%.log"
:hostname, contains, "nast"
*.* -?DynamicFile
Most remote log message do indeed get redirected to the subdirectory
as expected, but SMART messages like these still wind up in
/var/log/messages on my main system rather than in the subdirectory.
Example:
Nov 16 16:16:51 nast 1 2023-11-16T16:16:51.564170-05:00 nast.my.lan smartd 1501 - - Device: /dev/ada0, SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 58 to 57
Most other messages wind up down in the subdirectory as expected, like this:
Nov 16 19:15:00 nast 1 2023-11-16T19:15:00.012359-05:00 nast.my.lan /usr/sbin/cron 16239 - - (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
Anyone understand remote logging enough to provide any hints why this
is happening? It is clearly not all that critical, but it confuses me.
