anomalyx normalization: any input format -> the ax-core RecordSet
Documentation
//! Syslog parser — RFC 3164 (BSD) and RFC 5424 wire messages.
//!
//! Both variants begin with a `<PRI>` priority header (`PRI = facility*8 +
//! severity`, 0–191). We derive the numeric `facility`/`severity` ourselves from
//! that header (clean and deterministic) and delegate the harder dual-RFC field
//! parsing — BSD vs ISO timestamps, app/host/proc IDs, RFC 5424 structured data
//! — to `syslog_loose`. One row per message, with columns the detectors want:
//! `severity`/`facility` for event-rate `dist` drift, `hostname` for rare-host
//! `structural`/`dist`, and rows-as-an-ordered-series for off-hours `contextual`
//! (`--period 24`).
//!
//! Determinism: `syslog_loose`'s default entry point fills a year-less RFC 3164
//! timestamp from the wall clock and the local time zone. We instead pin a fixed
//! year and UTC, so the same bytes always normalize identically (the real
//! month/day/time are preserved; only the absent RFC 3164 year is a sentinel).
//!
//! Detected by the `<PRI>` header; claims `.syslog` (a plain `.log` is too
//! generic). A line without a valid `<PRI>` is a clean parse error.
