The syslog server is having issues reading Syslog messages from ESSO Logon Manager & Password Reset.

The output from ESSO LM looks like the following while according to Doc ID 1491337.1, the format should be based on RFC 5424 - The Syslog Protocol.

TimeStamp = 30/05/2018 22:20:21; Type = Info; Category = Feature; StartupShutdown = Shutdown; Username = <USERNAME_1>; Domain = <ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_DOMAIN>; SyncInfo = <USERNAME_1>.<ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_DOMAIN>;
TimeStamp = 30/05/2018 22:20:21; Type = Info; Category = Reporting; ProductVersion = 11.1.2301.73; HostFingerprint = [Health]
