syslog-ng doesn't "add" anything. What it does is parse input, and forma
the message object depending on the input and output drivers.
If you use the syslog() input, it tries to parse rfc3164/rfc5424.
If you use the file() output, it formats using time, host, program, message.
If you want to track everything unparsed, use flags(no-parse) in the input,
and template("$MSG") in the output.
