Hi David
you need the software that creates them to do the formatting
Exactly, question is, is there any? should I do it "by hand" and if so, how?
yes, rsyslog handles RFC5424, you may note that the author of that RFC is the primary author of rsyslog.

I understand that rsyslog handles RFC5424. My question was more about this scenario: if my application uses the standard syslog calls to generate log messages, but the message text is formatted following the RFC5424 specifications (in particular, adding the tags), will this be enough for rsyslog to recognise the format and process it properly?

More over, will this format be a valid message format for the syslog API? will it accept the tags?


Anyone in this list has done this so far and could comment on his/her experience?

Thanks in advance

Pablo

Hi all

remember that rsyslog transports and outputs log messages, with very few exceptions it doesn't create them. you need the software that creates them to do the formatting

If not, would an standard syslog message on which I add structured data according the RFC 5424
be recognised and processed properly by rsyslog?

yes, rsyslog handles RFC5424, you may note that the author of that RFC is the primary author of rsyslog.
