What is the config file format of such filtering?
E.g. https://linux.die.net/man/5/syslog.conf
shows no syntax to do that, so this is something new?
How is it specified?

(On a design note, sending messages from unrelated programs
to a common sink, and then sorting them back into separate
files per program... there are better ways to not mix them
in the first place).

Are you implementing functionality which exists upstream
(in this case, which one?), or it is a new thing (and if yes,
why do you need it)?
