 Uses `node['rsyslog']['server_ip']` or Chef search (in that precedence order) to determine the remote syslog server's IP address. If search is used, the search query will look for the first `ipaddress` returned from the criteria specified in `node['rsyslog']['server_search']`.
 
+You can use `node['rsyslog']['custom_config']` to define custom entries for sending logs to remote servers.
+Available attributes:
+```
+    'server': Ip/hostname of remote syslog server (Required)
+    'port': Port to send logs to
+    'logs': Syslog log facilities to send (auth, authpriv, daemon, etc)
+    'protocol': Can be tcp or udp
+    'remote_template': Rsyslog template used for the messages 
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+node['rsyslog']['custom_remote'] = [{ 'server' => '10.10.4.4', 'port' => '567', 'logs' => 'auth.*,mail.*', 'protocol' => 'udp', 'remote_template' => 'RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format'},
+                                    { 'server' => '10.0.0.3', 'port' => '555', 'logs' => 'authpriv,daemon.*' } ]
+```
+
+The server key is required; if other keys are left out, the default global values will be used (eg `node['rsyslog']['port']` will be used if 'port' is omitted)
+
+
 If the node itself is a rsyslog server ie it has `rsyslog.server` set to true then the configuration is skipped.
 
 If the node had an `/etc/rsyslog.d/35-server-per-host.conf` file previously configured, this file gets removed to prevent duplicate logging.
