People were having issues with KIWI syslog at some point here.  The
default logging format for kiwi is its own format.  You can set many
logging formats, include BSD Syslog and RAW.  What exactly were you
removing from the BSD formatted logs that made it work?  I can try
several different things with Kiwi until I get a format out of it that
works with all of the log parsing tools.

I just downloaded sawmill6.4b4 and ran it against some sample
freebsd-syslog captured logs.

Sawmill cannot process these, it seems.  It looks to be a bug with
sawmill...it would be a reasonable thing to expect it to process
syslog-captured data.

I ran the log through a quick filter to remove the syslog data from the
file, then processed it with sawmill.  Sawmill was able to identify the
data as WELF and give me processed output.

My filter (this should work with most UNIX flavors..though your mileage
may vary.):

# cut -d" " -f5- < GBlog.log.0 > filtered.log.0


Let me know how it works for you.

PS: I've cc'ed this to sawmill support.
