You can't use a hex number there, it needs to be decimal. I don't see a macro that we can use to properly set the decimal <PRI> in the beginning of a templated message. Bazsi, can you shed any light on this?
I dug into it, and it looks like the PRI macro should work. See news releases below. Try a template like this: destination self { udp("cashmere.comp.uvic.ca <http://cashmere.comp.uvic.ca>" template("<$PRI>$FACILITY $PRIORITY From $HOST: $MESSAGE\n")); News for the 1.6.3 release Thu, 06 May 2004 11:05:46 +0200 * fixed afunix and afinet destination template handling, do not include the PRI value automatically, let the administrator do it explicitly in its template News for the 1.6.1 release Fri, 9 Jan 2004 10:27:38 +0100 * added a new macro named "PRI" which inserts the decimal value of the message priority (pri + level value combined)
