i have difficulties to understandand whats exacty do the field DEST_KEY and FORMAT on my host in stanza 1 and FORMAT in stanza 2

I have read the documentation but.....

Thanks in advance

[rfc5424_host] DEST_KEY = MetaData:Host REGEX = <\d+>\d{1}\s{1}\S+\s{1}(\S+) FORMAT = host::$1

[host_as_src] SOURCE_KEY = host REGEX = (.+) FORMAT = src::"$1

in 1st case DEST_KEY define that value of REGEX (inside()) will put into host field. That seems to be a host value in syslog feed, based on your REGEX.

In 2nd example, I think that you have additional “ on your stanza? Basically it take host field and copy it’s content to src field.
