Mimic rsyslog output on Ubuntu
Using nxlog in front of logstash on a server.  On the same user, I want to use nxlog to replace rsyslog.  Seems pretty simple.  The only issue is the file format is slightly different than the what rsyslog outputs.  I see: <78>May 6 13:50:01 CRON[19454]: (root) CMD ( /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1) vs: Jul 16 18:00:01 monitor01 CRON[6871]: (root) CMD ( /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1) Main difference is the <NN> at the beginning of the line and the missing hostname (monitor01).  Here is my .conf: <Input in_uds> Module im_uds UDS /dev/log </Input> <Input in_kernel> Module im_kernel </Input> <Output out> Module om_file File "/var/log/syslog" </Output> <Route local_route> Path in_uds, in_kernel => out </Route> Is there a simple change I can make to get the desired format?  Thanks.  -- Bud
