[syslog-ng] Parameter MSGONLY in syslog-ng.conf doesn't work properly

Hi,

I forgot to say following:

It seems, that $MSGONLY only cuts the first 15 characters of $MSG (please
see output below)

Betreff: Parameter MSGONLY in syslog-ng.conf doesn't work properly

Hi,

we compiled libol-0.3.17 / syslog-ng-1.6.9 on AIX 5.3.

When using following entry in syslog-ng.conf:

destination tempfile { file("/tmp/syslog-ng-test.log"
template("$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $HOST $MSG\n")
template-escape(yes)); };


tail -f /tmp/syslog-ng-test.log
:
2006-03-16 12:36:39 aixserver auth|security:info sshd[258116]: Connection
>from 111.111.111.111 port 48948
:

tail -f /tmp/syslog-ng-test.log

111.111.111.111 port 64747

If the destination is not a tempfile but a socket on a remote server, the
remote syslog-ng daemon ignores both logs produced with the help parameter
$MSG and $MSGONLY.



Thanks in advance for help or a patch.
