That is expected behaviour.

Syslog will only send the "Message" - what you are showing in your screenshot is how your syslog server renders the data for you.

Side Note: I would be a bit alarmed that your syslog server appears to receive the message 14 -17 seconds before the client has sent it!
I'm not familiar with the tool pictured, but it might suggest you have a time sync issue to deal with.

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
