You can disable solaris message ID generation editing the file /kernel/drv/log.conf Just set msgid=0 instead of msgid=1. That way message IDs will not be generated.

Hey again,

All log messages that syslog-ng reads from sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); are prefixed with the following string: "[ID 702911 local3.alert] "

If I understand correctly, it seems that any program using the standard syslog interface under Solaris will see there messages prefixed with an ID and the facility they used. This is despite any formatting option I can tell, this is simply the content of $MSG.

This, however, doesn't happen with UDP messages.

I wonder if there's a way to remove this part, either at on syslog-ng side or in the calls to the syslog interface of Solaris?

Regards,
