Both, I guess. Because a field can only be present with a value in it.
(We could argue whether the empty string is a valid value for a GELF
facility, but that does not lead anywhere. ;)

That is another topic; BSD Syslog [RFC3164] messages have a facility and
a severity level as mandatory metadata.
I do not know for sure, but I would expect the syslog input module to
look for these and insert default values if they cannot be parsed.

This is the typical interoperability problem: every part of the
processing chain has different assumptions about the data.
