When I attempt to use binary I receive the following error

"2013-12-17 07:20:13 ERROR binary header not found in data received from
192.168.0.2, is input really binary?"

On the client
<Output out>
        Module  om_tcp
        Host            192.168.0.200
        Port            2514
        OutputType      Binary
</Output>

On the server
<Input tcp2-in>
                Module  im_tcp
                Host            192.168.0.200
                Port            2514
                InputType       Binary
                Exec            to_json();
</Input>

This is not a direct answer, but we handle these logs by sending in binary
format to an nxlog server, which then saves these as JSON format.  That is
flattened into a hash, fed into SEC, and then the hash is used to route and
handle events within the ruleset.  It is far more complete and flexible than
trying to get this in to a text format via UDP syslog.  But, if you must,
then why not just use the to_syslog_snare encoder
(http://nxlog-ce.sourceforge.net/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html#x
m_syslog_proc_parse_syslog_bsd).

Mark
