METRON-1453 Metron Parser for valid RFC 5424 Syslog messages
This is a simple parser for *valid* [RFC
5424](http://www.rfc-base.org/txt/rfc-5424.txt) messages.
It produces JSON for the messages, including support for structured data.
All structured data will be flattened.
It's configuration allows for specifying how missing fields are handled (
"-" in the spec ).
They can be:
- DASH ( the default and same as spec)
- OMIT : the field will not be in the return set
- NULL : the field will be in the return set, but as null
The parser uses the
[simple-syslog-5424](https://github.com/palindromicity/simple-syslog-5424)
library.
Testing:
- Build should work ;)
- in full dev, parser configuration should be available
- if you have a syslog 5424 compliant data source, hook it up
