Basically rsyslog works like syslog, but adds a few more options. So

Replace remote-host with your remote syslog. 514 is the default
well-known syslog port so unless you have set up something else, you
can leave it there.

Don't forget to restart/reload rsyslog (or any other syslog daemon for
that matter) after doing configuration changes. This sometimes can be
done by simply sending the daemon a HUP signal:

killall -HUP daemon

or by restarting it altogether:

/etc/init.d/daemon restart

Hope this helps.

Don't forget to configure the host you are logging to so that it
will accept logging from an outside machine. By default, it probably
doesn't.
