I thought that the default was to escape control characters on receive, does this now handle newlines as well?

 Hello,

Using rsyslog 7.4.7.

Once in a while, some equipment sends a message which includes newline
chars into our central syslog server. This disturbs my filtering of /var/
log/messages.

Can rsyslog be configured to replace incoming newline characters with
another character, such as a space?


the 'right' think to happen is to have the newline replaced with #012 to
match the rest of the control character escaping.

This isn't currently happening because traditionally a newline indicated
the end of the log message, so it didn't need escaping, and when it became
possible to have a newline in the message, it didn't get added.

Rainer, do you want a bug for this? or will you just add it to your todo
list?
