no_appending_timestamp and syslog-ng clarification

mikefg

Just need to clarify - if I'm using syslog-ng to receive udp syslog I do not need the no_appending_timestamp = true in inputs.conf, correct? The no_appending_timestamp = true is used when receiving udp and not using a log collector like syslog-ng.

You do not need to set no_appending_timestamp=true.
