The problem is that your logs do not conform to the syslog RFC. A syslog
message should have <date> <hostname> <message> (in addition
to the headers). Yours have <date> <ip> <hostname> <message>.

Is this message coming directly from the PIX? Looks like your syslog
daemon is messing things up...

*ossec is very strict when parsing syslog messages.

*you can configure ossec to receive remote syslog directly. It will
avoid these problems...

Thanks,

Like I said it fires alerts such as this:
