Hi,

I ended up replacing  :

*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err 
/var/log/messages

with

!-wg0
*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err 
/var/log/messages
!wg0

in /etc/syslog.conf and placing this:

# Log wgX messages
:msg, ereregex, "wg[0-9]{1,2}\:\ "
*.*						/var/ramdisk_log/wireguard.log

in /etc/syslog.d/wireguard.conf (TnX Bob for pointing out the issues 
with my previous attempts).

I'm probably filtering out too much information with the "!-wg0 
construction" (regular, non-debug information regarding wgX interfaces 
for instance) but at this point I'm satisfied with the construction.

Thank you for your feedback Miroslav / Bob!
