wait a minute, I realized just after I sent this that you probably meant that 
if you send standard syslog with the Forward format Zenoss doesn't work, but if 
you send standard syslog with the File format Zenoss works.

If this is the case, then instead of using '%rawmesg%' for your spoof template, 
use '%timestamp% %hostname% %syslogtag%%msg%'

This should be the same thing, just without the severity/priority tag. If 
that's what Zenoss is choaking on, this may fix it (and then you can file a bug 
with them :-)


No, I've only gotten it working with the message only. It doesn't like FileFormat either (see my message). I can try that later tonight. We're at peak traffic right now ;-)

Ok, I'm trying to make sure I am properly understanding what works and what doesn't (I know that at some point here I have gotten confused, and I'm not sure I have it all straightend out yet)

My understanding is that the following scenarios have been tested

1. @hostname:port with FileFormat

        works

2. @hostname:port with ForwardFormat

works? I thought the message I was replying to said it did not work.

3. omspoof with ForwardFormat (%rawmesg%)

       does not work

4. omspoof with message only (%msg:2:2000%)

       works

5. omspoof with FileFormat (%timestamp% %hostname% %syslogtag%%msg%)


       does not work? this is what I think you are saying above



where FileFormat is

Apr 19 12:34:56 hostname application[PID]: log data

and ForwardFormat is

<190>Apr 19 12:34:56 hostname application[PID]: log data
