           Summary: tcp() destination driver ignores ts_format() parameter
           Product: syslog-ng
           Version: 3.3.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: syslog-ng
        AssignedTo: bazsi at balabit.hu
        ReportedBy: chiestand at salk.edu
Type of the Report: bug
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


The documentation (http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/syslog-ng-ose-v3.3-guide-admin-en.pdf) states that you may use the ts_format() paramater to
modify the timestamp format.
However this parameter does not work, rfc3164 format seems to be used no matter what you specify in ts_format(). So either the documentation is wrong or there
is a bug.

I am running 3.3.4 on Debian Wheezy. I also had the problem running 3.1 in Debian Squeeze.


my driver:
destination My_Syslog { tcp("syslog.server.salk.edu" port(514) ts_format(iso) ); };
log { source(s_src); destination(My_Syslog); };


tcpdump:
@.m..<hw<86>Apr  6 01:24:01 host CRON[1923]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root


I emailed the mailing list on this issue, the thread can be viewed here:
