Improved Syslog Parsing
Best effort parsing support for Syslog
Anyone that dealt with Syslog knows that the format specification is a “goal”.
It’s very common for formats to deviate slightly. To account for this we’ve
updated our Syslog parsing to follow the RFC 3164,
RFC 5424, and other common formats. With these changes
Vector is very likely to parse a Syslog format, or anything like it. And, as
always, if Vector’s syslog
source fails to parse your
format you can always use the socket
source and the
regex_parser
transform to roll your own
collection parsing pipeline.
