[syslog-ng] syslog message without timestamp

[Csuti Istvan]

Hi All!

I would like send UDP message to the syslog server without timestamp.

I readed RFC3164 and RFC5424 and syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin.pdf.

The new "RFC 5424 (also called the IETF-syslog protocol): see Section 2.8.2,
IETF-syslog messages (p. 13)" support NIL values "-" in HEADER.

I sended this "<110>1 - hostname procname procid - - Message"

The syslog-ng server logged this:

"Sep 21 19:29:54 h164-19 1: - hostname procname procid - - Message"

Question:
What is wrong in my message string?
The syslog-ng server why do not decode "1" after ">" as version?
Can i send old syslog message (RFC3164) without timestamp?

Best Regards
