Hi Tomasz,

there is no problem! This is the Cisco Syslog Message format.
Look at cisco.com for the Embedded Syslog Manager Configuration Dokumentation for your IOS release, you will find something like that:

System Logging Message Formatting

System logging messages are displayed in the following format:

%<facility>-<severity>-<mnemonic>: <message-text>

For example:

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial3/3, changed state to administratively down

Usually, these messages are preceded by additional text, such as the timestamp and error sequence number:

<sequence-number>: <timestamp>:%<facility>-<severity>-<mnemonic>: <message-text>

For example:

000013: Mar 18 14:52:10.039:%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial3/3, changed state
to administratively down

Which will result in a syslog message on your logserver like:

<timestamp-recv><hostname><seq#><timestamp-sent><above message format>

If you want a different "look" in your logfile, you have to use templates in you syslogd configuration to reformat the message.

regards

Karsten

On switches logs looks fine but in observium i have something like that "% :"
Other vendors looks fine in logs. Where could be the problem?
