https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220246 Bug ID: 220246 Summary: syslogd does not send RFC3164-conformant messages [PATCH] Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mikeg@bsd-box.net Keywords: patch Created attachment 183758 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D183758&action= =3Dedit Resolving patch When sending messages to a remote host syslogd omits the hostname field required by RFC 3164. This affects anyone sending logs from a FreeBSD host = to a central logging server that expects RFC 3164-conformant messages (Logstash, fluentd) - it breaks the remote server's ability to parse the FreeBSD syste= m's log messages. This issue is present on 10.3-RELEASE and 11.0-RELEASE. The attached patch corrects the behavior of syslogd when sending messages. Following the logic laid out in the existing code I preserved the previous hostname for forwarded messages, but made the resulting message conform with the RFC.=20 This fix has been verified against Logstash & fluentd. I have not deliberat= ely thrown any pathological input at it so there should be some scrutiny. NOTE: Related standards bug 200933 deals with receiving RFC 3164-conformant messages. There is a patch there which should be reviewed and either applie= d or adapted as appropriate. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
