Commit Message

Adhemerval Zanella Netto April 12, 2021, 9:11 p.m. UTC
  Current syslog format provides limited timestamp information (not full
year information nor microsecond precision) and the timezone information
might incur in confusion [1] since there is no metadata information on
how it was generated.

So instead of using another ad-hoc syslog format, this patch adapts it
to follow RFC5424:

  - VERSION is set as 1.
  - TIMESTAMP is logged as described by RFC 3339 using UTC ('Z') with
    maximum allowed TIME-SECFRAC precision (microseconds).
  - HOSTNAME is obtained with gethostname (as allowed by the RFC).
  - PROCID is only set if LOG_PID is previously set by openlog.
  - MSGID and STRUCTURED-DATA are both set to NILVALUE.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
