Scalable Syslog

The scalable syslog is a consumer of Loggregator which transports application logs to syslog drains. It writes messages according to RFC 5424 and RFC 6587. Here is an example of how it writes messages:

+ Protocol Version
|
|  + Timestamp                   + org_name.space_name.app_name                                       + ProcessID (Source)
|  |                             |                                                                    |
v  v                             v                                                                    v

If you see a decimal prefix followed by a space in your message, this is the length prefixed to the message. This is used to frame syslog messages when transmitting over a streaming protocol.
