Could you please try with: global(parser.escapeControlCharactersOnReceive="on") and post whether that helps in your case?
no and i wouldn't call it smart don't escape any control chars but tabs which are simply useful so taht you can open a logfile in libreoffice as CSV for example rsyslog.conf (what is that for weird syntax now) global(parser.escapeControlCharactersOnReceive="on") <?php syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "1\t2\t\3"); ?> Dec 11 10:48:32 srv-rhsoft php[21262]: 1#0112#011#003
I am sorry, looking at my previous comment, I mis-typed the value, I meant "off" of course. so please try with: global(parser.escapeControlCharactersOnReceive="off") and BTW this "new" syntax is around from about 2013.
looks better - \0 seems to be killed by journald already linebreaks are not much funny but better than tabs replaced by #011 [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ > messages [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /downloads/test.php <?php syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "1\t2\t3 test\ntest"); ?> [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ php /downloads/test.php [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat messages Dec 11 13:59:11 srv-rhsoft php[23633]: 1 2 3 test test
This default behavior comes from backwards compatibility with ancient versions, as you can see it can be overridden, but then you have to live with line-breaks as well. You can see linked upstream issue for discussion how this could be solved, however no conclusion has been reached there so far.
