You don't mention what kind of Cisco device this question relates to - but in general you can configure the syslog "facility" with a value of local0 through to local7.  This works just like a tag.

An example on a Cisco router would be:

logging facility local3

Hello, Philip.

For IOS and IOS-XE devices. Facility is not good for me, because I have a lot of other devices that using it. This is why I want to use tag as selective option for splitting syslog messages at the central syslog server (grouping by IP addresses is a lot of pain for configuration...).

Best Regards.
