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?

Thanks,

- Allen Bettilyon
