[syslog-ng] RFC-5424 configuration with IPV6 is not working

Sat Sep 29 10:03:42 UTC 2018

Hello,

Sorry to keep you hanging there. You could use *template* to get any kind
of format you want, but for syslog there is also a flags option. Simply
udo6( ... flags(syslog-protocol)); should be the same as syslog(...);
