I want the new syslog style messages. I'm writing some Java code to send messages to syslog and I need the new format. Is there somewhere that the transport protocol is described? It will also be over UDP too. TCP was just for a little test.
Thanks -j
AFAIK (Bazsi, pls correct if I'm wrong) the format is described in RFC5425 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5425) Section 4.3 "Sending data". The RFC concerns TLS transport, but syslog-ng implements the same transport format over TCP as well. If you're comfortable with reading C code, you can also take a look at how syslog-ng does this in logproto.c, around the function log_proto_framed_client_post().
