Hello,
Have you tried to define your filter as: program("kernel")
I am not sure if /proc/kmsg provide a facility code (PRI) with its logs.
In your case the program field seems to be set as "kernel":
file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
So the above filter (based on the program field) should help...
Hope its help.
