Command KLogPermitNonKernelFacility is currently not permitted

rsyslogubuntu-16.04

I've setup loggly to for syslog alerts among other things and am getting the following error repeatedly in syslog.

command 'KLogPermitNonKernelFacility' is currently not permitted - did you already set it via a RainerScript command (v6+ config)? [v8.16.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2222 ]

Running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.4.0-42-generic

The server seems to be running fine otherwise. From what I can tell this informs rsyslog to allow non-kernal events into syslog, which is what I want. I am unsure beyond that.

Also receiving this one

Could not open output pipe '/dev/xconsole':: No such file or directory [v8.16.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]

I'm a very, very unwilling dev-ops, sorry in advance.

*edit: restared syslog service, problem persists.

*edit: supressed /dev/xconsole errors, KLogPermitNonKernelFacility error persists.

Is is a known bug.

Bug#1531622 KLogPermitNonKernelFacility - it's legacy parameter which is no longer used. To remove the error, locate and comment out the following line $KLogPermitNonKernelFacility on in the file rsyslog.conf

Bug#830046 If the device /dev/xconsole is not present on you system, you can locate it like this:

daemon.*;mail.*;\
news.err;\
*.=debug;*.=info;\
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsol

and comment it out, or replace xconsole with console.
