Similar to request to map syslog severity levels to integer from https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/5501 it would be helpful to have a means to remap syslog facility keywords to their integer values as well.

When parsing events message, the raw facility values could be enriched with a simple remap transform to down stream processing

No response

create a remap-function to_syslog_facility which could produce the facility name:

parse_syslog_facility("authpriv") => 10

Makes sense to me, thanks for the request @timansky . We'd be happy to see a PR for this if you or someone else feels motivated.
