You need to consult your McAfee manual and see if the "facility" is configurable. Usually, you'd choose one of the "user" facility types (local0 - local7) and configure it to use that facility... then you can adjust your syslog conf to take messages for that facility and output to a separate log area.
Alternatively, McAfee may have support for outputting to a local log file outside of using syslog messages, in which case you can configure that.
Syslog really doesn't support the idea of fine grained log selection (which is why SolarWinds and Splunk and such exist).
With that said, as systemd (the borg) takes over everything, logging is going to change in some pretty radical ways... so whatever you do with syslog today, don't get used to it. I promise you it will change if your distribution switches to systemd.

logfetch
LOGFETCH(1) General Commands Manual LOGFETCH(1)
NAME
logfetch - Xymon client data collector
SYNOPSIS
logfetch CONFIGFILE STATUSFILE
DESCRIPTION
logfetch is part of the Xymon client. It is responsible for collecting data from logfiles, and other file-related data, which is then sent
to the Xymon server for analysis.
logfetch uses a configuration file, which is automatically retrieved from the Xymon server. There is no configuration done locally. The
configuration file is usually stored in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.cfg file, but editing this file has no effect since it is re-written with
data from the Xymon server each time the client runs.
logfetch stores information about what parts of the monitored logfiles have been processed already in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.status file.
This file is an internal file used by logfetch, and should not be edited. If deleted, it will be re-created automatically.
SECURITY
logfetch needs read access to the logfiles it should monitor. If you configure monitoring of files or directories through the "file:" and
"dir:" entries in client-local.cfg(5) then logfetch will require at least read-acces to the directory where the file is located. If you
request checksum calculation for a file, then it must be readable by the Xymon client user.
Do NOT install logfetch as suid-root. There is no way that logfetch can check whether the configuration file it uses has been tampered
with, so installing logfetch with suid-root privileges could allow an attacker to read any file on the system by using a hand-crafted con-
figuration file. In fact, logfetch will attempt to remove its own suid-root setup if it detects that it has been installed suid-root.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DU Command used to collect information about the size of directories. By default, this is the command du -k. If the local du-command
on the client does not recognize the "-k" option, you should set the DU environment variable in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
file to a command that does report directory sizes in kilobytes.
FILES
$BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.cfg
$BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.status
