When sending data from Windows EventLog I have to use to_syslog_ietf, but If I use to_syslog_ietf when sending data from a logfile the result looks like this on the syslog side: Oct 21 13:50:07 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:20 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:20 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:20 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:22 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:22 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:22 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:23 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:23 WINDOWSSERVER - Oct 21 13:50:23 WINDOWSSERVER - No log data at all, just timestamp and the name of the Windows server sending the data. > > Oct 18 13:10:42 windowsserver.company.com : > > 10:41,Renew,172.22.24.19,android-eb545ee5cd9f7ae3.company.com,60A44C81 > > D779,,2242570168,0,,,#015 > > > > Each log line is spread over two lines, seemingly at recurring > > intervals.

I tried using to_syslog_bsd and this is the result: Oct 21 13:49:20 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:24 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:24 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:24 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 Oct 21 13:49:25 windowsserver.company.com WINDOWSSERVER#015 No log data there either. I'm not sure where the problem is, it looks like the rsyslog server discards the log data?
