> The syslog source parses incoming syslog messages. In the process, it strips
> the timestamp and hostname from each log message, and places them as Event
> headers.
> Thus, a syslog message that would normally look like so (when written via
> rsyslog or syslogd):
> {noformat}
> Wed Oct 24 09:18:01 UTC 2012 someserver /USR/SBIN/CRON[26981]: (root) CMD
> (/usr/local/sbin/somescript)
> {noformat}
> Appears in flume output as:
> {noformat}
> /USR/SBIN/CRON[26981]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/sbin/somescript)
> {noformat}
