update rewrite r_from_pipes in syslog-ng.conf #205

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Please provide any additional information below.
The current definition of "rewrite r_from_pipes" on line 52 of syslog-ng.conf 
is causing problems for logs that arrive pipe '|' delimited:
rewrite r_from_pipes { subst('\|', "%7C", value("MESSAGE") flags(global)); };

I believe replacing that definition with this one should fix the issue.  I can 
confirm it works with bro logs containing pipe chars, just waiting to hear from 
Michael (first discussion above) whether it works for him:
rewrite r_from_pipes { subst('\|', "%7C", value("MESSAGE") flags(global) 
condition(program("bro_*" type(glob)))); };

It appears this is working, for at least two of us.  One of us trying to 
exclude pipes in logs, and the other trying to accept pipe delimited logs.
