If you want to know what applications are posting some 'wildcard' entries can help with that.
Below I have commented out all applications at 'debug' level - which is everything. Instead I collect everything at info level - except for local4 (which is used by ipsec logging) - I leave that one at debug level.
Looking at the combined log you can see which facility is concerned, as well as the severity of the message. From this you can decide how to accommodate different facilities in separate files and/or with differing severity.
Finally, an easy way to know how syslog is currently running is the command

log::agent::driver::syslog
Agent::Driver::Syslog(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Agent::Driver::Syslog(3pm)NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for Log::Agent
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make(
-prefix => prefix,
-facility => "user",
-showpid => 1,
-socktype => "unix",
-logopt => "ndelay",
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
The syslog logging driver delegates logxxx() operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.
The creation routine make() takes the following switches:
"-facility" => facility
Tell syslog() which facility to use (e.g. "user", "auth", "daemon"). Unlike the Sys::Syslog(3) interface, the facility is set once and
for all: every logging message will use the same facility.
If you wish to log something to "auth" for instance, then do so via Sys::Syslog directly: there is no guarantee that the application
will configure its Log::Agent to use syslog anyway!
"-logopt" => syslog options
Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait.
"-prefix" => prefix
The prefix here is syslog's identification string.
"-showpid" => flag
Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.
"-socktype" => (unix | inet)
Specifies the logging socket type to use. The default behaviour is to use Sys:Syslog's default.
CHANNELS
All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
