Description

AIX does something more compared to the other syslog implementations: it adds a tiny "Message forwarded from <hostname>" to the syslog message, making it non-parseable for rsyslog.

It breaks the relay servers.

We should add the following configuration to rsyslog on relays/root servers:

# for AIX clients
# (strips "Message forwarded from" from the message)
$ModLoad pmaixforwardedfrom
$RulesetParser rsyslog.aixforwardedfrom
$RulesetParser rsyslog.rfc5424
$RulesetParser rsyslog.rfc3164
