Hi,
I'm using rsyslog 2.0.2.
My rsyslog.conf
$ModLoad MySQL
$EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive off
$template TraditionalFormat,"%timegenerated% %FROMHOST% %syslogtag%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"
*.* /var/log/trad.log; TraditionalFormat
Sample log from rsyslog:
Mar 10 15:22:25 192.168.200.1 wimax_watchdog: 00:10:54 up 10 min, load average: 0.43, 0.34, 0.16
Mar 10 15:22:31 192.168.200.1 : : send_pdu of type 4, on cid 0x0000, with length 13
Sample log from syslog:
Mar 10 15:16:12 172.16.18.1 mac_ss: DEBUG: : send_pdu of type 12, on cid 0x0148, with length 64
Mar 10 15:17:01 172.16.18.1 wimax_watchdog: 00:42:38 up 42 min, load average: 0.53, 0.39, 0.36
I believe that mac_ss and wimax_watchdog are the tags or program names and DEBUG would be the priority.
Both samples are inputs from remote units.
