The SyslogReader Controller Service provides a means to parse the contents of a Syslog message in accordance to RFC5424 and RFC3164 formats. This reader produces records with a set schema to match the common set of fields between the specifications.
The Required Property of this service is named Character Set and specifies the Character Set of the incoming text.
When a record is parsed from incoming data, it is parsed into the Generic Syslog Schema.
