you can't do that unless the log lines are in the proper syslog network transport format

If you don't want the rsyslog properties there, then you need to substatute other values, you can't just leave them out.

when the receiving rsyslog server tries to parse the message, it will attempt to do the right thing? but it has to make up date to do so, and will probably end up eating the first word or two of the message (having them become hostname and syslogtag I think)

what is it that you are wanting to avoid from the rsyslog properties?

Hello Rainer, thanks for your online video tutorials. I found them very
useful.

If my template violates the format, I'm willing to change it. My only
requirement is that I'm not prepending rsyslog property values to the log
lines. If preferable, I'd like to send the data exactly the same as it's
generated by the application (Apache)

I turned on the receiver's debug, and these are the results:

1) When my client configuration reads:
local3.* <IP>:514
all configured input file logging is sent to the log server. The debugger
logs no new data

2) When my client configuration reads:
$template msgOnlyTemplate,"%syslogtag%%msg%\n"
if $syslogfacility-text == 'local3' then @156.36.38.61:514;msgOnlyTemplate
& ~
no configured input file logging is sent to the log server. The debugger
records the following:

inputname: rsyslogd rawmsg: ' [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.10.1"
x-pid="17085" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] start'
