      .Configuring the _imuxsock_ input basics type causes a problem

      Configuring the "imuxsock" input basics type through the `logging` RHEL system role and the `use_imuxsock` option cause a problem in the resulting configuration on the managed nodes. This role sets the `name` parameter, however, the "imuxsock" input type does not support the `name` parameter. As a result, the `rsyslog` logging utility prints the `parameter 'name' not known – typo in config file?` error.
