Hello,
I'm doing some pretty basic syslog forwarding using syslog-ng 1.6.2.
Essentially, I've got the following:
destination remoteHost { tcp("1.1.1.1 port 9999"); };
The forwarding is working correctly, however on the remote side all my log lines are prepended with a <number> tag.
For example: Some log line turns into: <38>Some log line
I've tried creating a custom template, but the <number> is always added to the log lines when the arrive at the remote host.
Why is this happening and is there a way to turn it off?
you are seeing the priority value, but you can indeed turn it off using a template: destination d_dst { tcp("1.1.1.1" template("$DATE $HOST $MSG\n"); }; but as your configuration snippet is obviously not directly copy/pasted from the configuration I cannot tell for sure why your template didn't work. -- Bazsi
