RSyslogd is sending multiples CEF messages in the same Syslog message

gh flag

There is a Python script sending multiple events to a remote host with Rsyslogd:

CEF:0|Test|SIEMintegration|1|1|Normal|0| fileId=767000670128771115
CEF:0|Test|SIEMintegration|1|1|Normal|0| fileId=766000430136104144

But when they reach to that remote host, those messages seem to be concatenated in the same Syslog message:

Two CEF messages concatenated in the same Syslog message

Would you know why it could be happening?

Thank you in advance.

Is that supposed to be the entire message? The screenshot implies a _significantly_ larger message.

@MichaelHampton Yes, I have shortened the messages because they are extremely long, especially considering that they can be several CEF concatenated. But in the source log, there is one CEF message per line exactly, that was the idea that I was trying to summarize.

I think you've run into a very subtle bug in Python. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/40041697/1068283) and [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/52950147/1068283) for possible workarounds.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
