[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng Message Format

Hi All,

With the older Syslog-ng RFC format (rfc 3164), the devices used to send the syslog messages in the below format -

%TAG TIMESTAMP FULLHOSTFROM SEVERITY MSG
Example - %SYSMGR-2-NON_VOLATILE_DB_INODE_FULL:2022 Nov 7 03:54:30 MST: SYSMGR-2-NON_VOLATILE_DB_INODE_FULL: System non-volatile inode storage usage is unexpectedly high at 96

But with the new syslog-ng RFC format (rfc 5425), the devices send the syslog messages in below format -

TIMESTAMP FULLHOSTFROM SEVERITY MSG

Is there a way to update/format the messages (rfc 5424) to be pre-fixed with %TAG ?

Regards,
Shivani Maurya
