I am using SNARE to send messages to syslog-ng (2.0.9). There are fields in the messages separated by a TAB (0x9). When syslog-ng writes this out to a file it convert the hexadecimal (0x9) to \011 (literally slash, zero, one, one). This makes the lines hard to read. How can I either convert the TAB to a space or preserve the TAB in the output. Preserving the TAB would be my preference.

I did not see anything in the documentation except writing a regex to convert the character.

This escaping is only performed if template-escape(yes) is set on the template that generates the message. Maybe you could turn that off? -- Bazsi
