I'm trying out the Nexus 1000v, and have the VEM configured to write logs to my syslog server. The thing is, the messages are in a weird format that my log management tools cannot parse. Here is an example:
<189>: 2012 Oct 21 15:22:40 UTC: %VSHD-5-VSHD_SYSLOG_CONFIG_I: Configured from vty by admin on unknown_session
I found the documentation rather amusing, where it states "The syslog client functionality is RFC-5424 compliant" - doesn't look like they've even read the RFC! This is closer to the format of the older (but more often found in the wild, RFC3164... though not compliant with that either :/
Anyway, I guess the main issue here is that the hostname of the 1000v is not being added to the logs (it is set in my config). Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!
