Remove pid from NXLOG parser #12

Closed mrdavidlaing closed 10 years ago

It turns out that fragment being parsed out of the NXLOG message as shipper.pid is in fact not the shippers PID at all; and in fact seems to just be a static string.

Across multiple restarts of the nxlog shipper; the "pid" is always 14506

Knowing the shipper.pid isn't really useful; so we should just discard this 14506

Oops, I assumed. I wonder what that number actually is.

Yeah, I wondered too; but couldn't find anything on the first page of Google so gave up.

2014 - the year you ceased to exist of you didn't appear on the first page of Google
