[syslog-ng] ts_format(iso); frac_digits(6); == 000000+00:00 always ?

[Patrick H.]

I'm assuming youre not using any custom template to rewrite the message 
before its outputted. In which case it will use the time provided by the 
sending host. If the sending host doesnt provide a microsecond value in 
the timestamp, microseconds will always be 0s. If you want higher 
granularity, you either need to configure the sending host to do so, or 
create a template with the R_ISODATE value (uses received time instead 
of sent time).
