You can use rsyslog to translate RFC3164 syslog messages into RFC5424 format.
Users can use rsyslog to translate RFC3164 syslog messages into RFC5424 format.
Add the following lines to the rsyslog configuration file
(e.g. `/etc/rsyslog.d/50-telegraf.conf`):
```s
# This makes rsyslog listen on 127.0.0.1:514 to receive RFC3164 udp
# messages which can them be forwared to telegraf as RFC5424
$ModLoad imudp #loads the udp module
$UDPServerAddress 127.0.0.1
$UDPServerRun 514
```
Make adjustments to the target address as needed and sent your RFC3164 messages
to port 514.
