Public bug reported:

rsyslog has a parser module for Cisco IOS formatted syslog messages:
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/configuration/modules/pmciscoios.html
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/tree/master/plugins/pmciscoios

It has been in rsyslog since early days (8.3.4); Bionic has 8.16.0.

However, the Ubuntu Bionic package of rsyslog neither compiles
pmciscoios into the binary, nor includes it as a loadable module.

To replicate, try these lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf:

module(load="pmciscoios")
$RulesetParser rsyslog.ciscoios

and restart rsyslog; you get these errors

Mar  8 21:54:39 noc rsyslogd-2066: could not load module 
'/usr/lib/rsyslog/pmciscoios.so', dlopen: /usr/lib/rsyslog/pmciscoios.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  [v8.16.0 try 
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066 ]
Mar  8 21:54:39 noc rsyslogd-2159: error: parser 'rsyslog.ciscoios' unknown at 
this time (maybe defined too late in rsyslog.conf?) [v8.16.0 try 
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2159 ]

There is "pmcisconames.so", but that is something else:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/blob/master/contrib/pmcisconames/pmcisconames.c

# dpkg-query -L rsyslog | grep pm.*so
/usr/lib/rsyslog/pmaixforwardedfrom.so
/usr/lib/rsyslog/pmlastmsg.so
/usr/lib/rsyslog/pmsnare.so
/usr/lib/rsyslog/pmcisconames.so

There doesn't appear to be a separate package with the module:

# apt-cache search rsyslog
...
