You need to set up the AWK script as part of a pipeline:
... | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($0, index( $0, ">")) }' | ...
By the way, if you are not familiar with AWK: 1) The outer brackets are curly brackets 2) The inner two sets are parenthesis 3) There should be no space between "substr" and the left parenthesis or between "index" and its parenthesis.
man awk will give you lots of information!

Thanks Rushton, but where I put this sentence?? I need to do this action before rsyslog sends message to another syslog server ...

Explanation: AWK will split the line up on white space, so printing $1, $2, $3, $4 will give you "27April2012 10:33:44 172.1.2.2 data" single spaced. The substr expression will return the rest of the input line ($0) unchanged from the right arrow.

Hi all,
Sorry for the off-topic, but I have not found how to do this. I have installed a centos6 server to act as a syslog receiver. I need to rewrite all messages that comes from one server. For example a part of the message is:
"27April2012 10:33:44 172.1.2.2 data >". Sometimes between 27April2012 and 10:33:44 comes with one white space, sometimes with two, etc. I need to normalize this log to use only one white space between all fileds until ">" character.
Somebody knows how can I do this?? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
