rsyslog tag based forwarding

Question

I'm looking to do a tag based forwarding instead of using local1. local1 is used for other things so I don't want it to get mixed up. How can I do this? Here's my config forwarding nginx logs under /etc/rsyslog.d/nginx.conf

module(load="imfile" mode="inotify" PollingInterval="10") input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/nginx.log" Severity="info" Tag="nginx.log" Facility="local1") local1.* action(type="omfwd" target="0.0.0.0" port="2518" protocol="udp") & stop

You can test for the tag with a filter such as:

if $syslogtag=="nginx.log" then action(...) & stop
