There is also a key-value pairs format, used by some vendors (google 'Sophos syslog format'). The other document is RFC-5424, much more rigorous specification, but not all log providers follow this specification. The earliest attempt was RFC-3164, but it was more like overview of established practices than a real standard to follow. There is no established standard for syslog message format. Syslog is essentially a human readable text message, with some internal structure that is not always strictly followed. The SyslogDecode package had been battle-tested processing real high-volume message streams in Azure infrastructure.

All components are thread-safe and free-threaded. The components implement IObserver/IObservable interfaces, so they can be easily connected as stream processors. The parser is customizable, you can add your own customizations to it. You can use the pipeline for parsing messages from different sources. Intended to for use primarily in testing of the Syslog server components.Įach component can be used independently. Sends the messages over the UDP protocol to the target listening server.

SyslogUdpPipeline - a combination of the UDP listener and stream parser, ready-to-use processing pipeline for a UDP-listening server.SyslogUdpListener - listens to the input stream on a local UDP port, a standard protocol for syslog transmission.Uses SyslogMessageParser for parsing individual messages.

SyslogStreamParser - high-performance parsing engine consuming a stream of raw syslog messages and producing the stream of strongly-typed parsed records, ready for further analysis or uploading to the target log storage.SyslogMessageParser - a customizable core parser of syslog messages.Public static void ParseMessages ( string messages, IObserver consumer ) Major components in SyslogDecode
