Send DNS logs over syslog in Cent8

I need to send DNS logs in /var/log/messages over syslog to a log collector at 10.1.3.71 on port 31714/tcp

I created a file in /etc/rsyslog.d/dns-log.conf that contains these settings:

Code:$FileCreateMode 0640
$ModLoad imfile
$InputFilePollInterval 10
$InputFileName /var/log/messages
$InputFileTag MSSG
$InputFileStateFile Stat-MSSG
$InputFileSeverity info
$InputFileFacility local7
$InputRunFileMonitor
$InputFilePersistStateInterval 1000I also edited rsyslog.conf with the following lines:
Code:Target="10.1.3.71" Port="31714" Protocol="tcp"and uncommented these:
Code:module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imtcp" port="31714")When I restart rsyslog, I get:
