I'm looking into rolling OSSEC out to a decent sized group of
computers and am doing it in stages.  One of the first stages involved
deploying it to a centralized syslog server that catches all authpriv
logging from throughout the fleet.  However, it seems that OSSEC
doesn't know how to handle the IP Address in the prefix of the line.
Instead, it just ignores it, treating all events as if they effect the
logging server instead of one of the clients.

Is there are way to get OSSEC to understand these for better
centralized monitoring of the fleet?

Thanks.

Example (Scrubbed) comes from the logging host 10.0.2.1:
Mar  4 19:02:48 10.0.2.4 useradd[4961]: new group: name=foobar, GID=501
Mar  4 19:02:48 10.0.2.4 useradd[4961]: new user: name=foobar,
UID=501, GID=501, home=/var/foobar/, shell=/bin/true
Mar  4 20:17:06 10.0.2.2 sshd[28616]: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mar  4 20:17:06 10.0.2.4 sshd[1941]: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mar  4 20:17:06 10.0.2.2 sshd[18964]: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
