verified Jun 4, 2026

A Node-RED contrib node that formats msg.payload as valid RFC 3164 syslog messages for sending to syslog servers via UDP or TCP. It can also parse incoming syslog messages from a UDP input (Buffer). Version 1.1.0 is current. Key differentiators: simple integration with Node-RED flows, dynamic level/category/process/pid/hostname via msg.syslog, and built-in parsing of received syslog lines. This is a single-purpose utility node for syslog formatting within Node-RED, not a standalone library for syslog client/server.
