Hi, Date conversion is not possible at the moment I'm afraid. Hi, I have a non-standard (not rfc 5414) log message format coming into syslog-ng client. I am trying to use csv-parser to parse into custom macros and send it off to syslog-ng host in the correct format. With no-parse option, how do I make syslog-ng handle this incoming timestamp: [July 30, 2013 10:19:06 AM] ? It would be so much easier to simply use the timestamp for the time message received in syslog-ng (e.g $DATE marco) but I have to extract the timestamp from the message itself somehow. Example: [July 30, 2013 10:19:06 AM EDT] DisplayType=CLEAR ClassName=Host.... Secondly, the documentation of syslog-ng seems to hint that I can use string delimiter in parser. "Currently only the csv-parser is implemented, which can separate *columns based on delimiter characters and strings."* but it also says that "*If you specify multiple characters, every character will be treated as a delimiter."* . Is there a way for me to use a string, not single characters, as delimiters in csv-parser?
