experimental[]

The `syslog` processor parses RFC 3146 and/or RFC 5424 formatted syslog messages.
The syslog processor parses RFC 3146 and/or RFC 5424 formatted syslog messages
that are stored in a field. The processor itself does not handle receiving syslog
messages from external sources. This is done through an input, such as the TCP
input. Certain integrations, when enabled through configuration, will embed the
syslog processor to process syslog messages, such as Custom TCP Logs and
Custom UDP Logs.
