Thanks David for youy prompt reply. Did you mean rfc5424 ? if so, the message is deifned in BNF:
SYSLOG-MSG = HEADER SP STRUCTURED-DATA [SP MSG] HEADER = PRI VERSION SP TIMESTAMP SP HOSTNAME SP APP-NAME SP PROCID SP MSGID An originator, which is the caller of syslog() function in our case, can specify MSGID ? Looks syslog() C function only can specify the facility/priority and the message body. Is there any way to generate the header with MSGID specified by the function callers ? Currently we are implementing this in a filter, where a keyword is scanned in the message body to identify the log type.

Nothing about how to > generate them by users API. They are set by passing in a message using the RFC5324 format. Or, you can parse the message that you have received and then create a custom template to output the message with the extracted value in the msgid field.
