Syslog Appender does not support tags
You can find the specification for the tag in the appendix of the syslog RFC, page 34
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424
Being more pratical, the tag is used because facilities are limited (as they are quite old). See the section 'Facilities' on the following page:
http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Syslog_Howto
In rsyslog, the tag is referenced as syslogtag:
http://linux.die.net/man/5/rsyslog.conf
In summary, tags are just the first word in each message and can be used to identify the message type :)
I will take a look into the html and maybe do a pull request myself
