Hi Vinay,
I think I figured out what you are talking about after reading RFC
5424. I think this means that this code
syslog.info("Status - " + mcu_dict[pinged.ip] + " is " + status[pinged.status])
needs to become something like this
BOM = 0xEFBBBF
msg = str(BOM) + "Status - " + mcu_dict[pinged.ip] + " is " +
status[pinged.status]
syslog.info(msg)
This would add the BOM to the message that RFC 5424 requires. Or did I totally
misread it?
Thanks,
Joe
