That question is entirely about rsyslog and not powerdns, but in short 
you'll need something like this:

local1.* {
         # Logging for powerdns
         # facility-specific targets
         action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/pdns.log")
*        stop*
}

You can see some more examples at 
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/converting_to_new_format.html#converting-action-chains
