[syslog-ng] Parsing tab characters

[Norman Elton]

We've configured a host to send syslogs to our central repository
running syslog-ng 2.0.3. This particular host is sending tab-delimited
entries. The normal syslogd daemon parses and saves the messages
correctly. Syslog-NG seems to save them encoded as \011.

Can syslog-ng be configured to save the decoded ASCII characters? Or
can the messages be shoved through something like sed to be massaged
before saving?

Thanks!
