[syslog-ng] Using syslog-ng as a relay inject unexpected data

[Allen Bettilyon]

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
