    You should be able to do a "shell execute" which calls a script that modifies the severity and uses logger to send it back.

    From man rsyslog.conf

    Shell execute
    This executes a program in a subshell. The program is passed the template-generated message as the only command line parameter. Rsyslog waits until the program terminates and only then contin‐ ues to run.

       Example:
          ^program-to-execute;template

    The program-to-execute can be any valid executable. It receives the template string as a single parameter (argv1).
