[syslog-ng] question regarding program name logs

[Justin Randall]

Hello,

 

I am currently using Syslog-NG version 2.0rc1.

 

I've noticed that sometimes when Syslog-NG is logging messages, it
prefixes something onto the program name which disrupts filters while
matching against a program name.  For example, in some logs for a
program named "foo" I'll see logs in the form of "<15>foo" which fail to
be matched against a filter of 'program("foo") '.  This seems to only be
noticed on logs which originate from remote hosts.

 

Could anyone provide an explanation for what is going on with this?

 

Regards,

 

Justin Randall
