-# Syslog protocol support {#syslog_doc}
-
-VPP provides [RFC5424](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424) syslog protocol
-logging, which is used to transport event messages across network. VPP
-currently suports UDP transport based on
-[RFC5426](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5426).
-
-The syslog message has the following format:
-* header
-* structured data
-* free-form message
-
-The header contains, priority, version, timestamp, hostname, application,
-process id and message id. It is followed by structured data, which provides
-a mechanism to express event data in easily parsable format. Structured data
-can contain zero, one or multiple structured data elements. Structured data
-element contains name-value pairs. Structured data can by followed by free-form
-message.
-
-Following example explains how to use the internal APIs to genrate syslog
-message:
-```{.c}
- #include <vnet/syslog/syslog.h>
-
- ...
-
- syslog_msg_t syslog_msg;
-
- /* Check if syslog logging is enabled */
- if (!syslog_is_enabled ())
- return;
-
- /* Severity filer test */
- if (syslog_severity_filter_block (severity))
- return;
-
- /* Initialize syslog message header */
- syslog_msg_init (&syslog_msg, facility, severity, "NAT", "SADD");
-
- /* Create structured data element */
- syslog_msg_sd_init (&syslog_msg, "nsess");
- /* Add structured data element parameters (name-value pairs) */
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "SSUBIX", "%d", ssubix);
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "SVLAN", "%d", svlan);
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "IATYP", "IPv4");
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "ISADDR", "%U",

- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "ISPORT", "%d", isport);
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XATYP", "IPv4");
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XSADDR", "%U",

- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XSPORT", "%d", xsport);
- syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "PROTO", "%d", proto);
-
- /* Send syslog message */
- syslog_msg_send (&syslog_msg);
-```

-Example above produces following syslog message:

-To add free-form message use:
-```{.c}
- syslog_msg_add_msg (&syslog_msg, "event log entry");

+Syslog protocol support
+=======================
+
+VPP provides `RFC5424 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424>`__ syslog
+protocol logging, which is used to transport event messages across
+network. VPP currently supports UDP transport based on
+`RFC5426 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5426>`__.
+
+The syslog message has the following format: \* header \* structured
+data \* free-form message
+
+The header contains, priority, version, timestamp, hostname,
+application, process id and message id. It is followed by structured
+data, which provides a mechanism to express event data in easily
+parsable format. Structured data can contain zero, one or multiple
+structured data elements. Structured data element contains name-value
+pairs. Structured data can by followed by free-form message.
+
+Following example explains how to use the internal APIs to generate
+syslog message:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ #include <vnet/syslog/syslog.h>
+
+ ...
+
+ syslog_msg_t syslog_msg;
+
+ /* Check if syslog logging is enabled */
+ if (!syslog_is_enabled ())
+ return;
+
+ /* Severity filer test */
+ if (syslog_severity_filter_block (severity))
+ return;
+
+ /* Initialize syslog message header */
+ syslog_msg_init (&syslog_msg, facility, severity, "NAT", "SADD");
+
+ /* Create structured data element */
+ syslog_msg_sd_init (&syslog_msg, "nsess");
+ /* Add structured data element parameters (name-value pairs) */
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "SSUBIX", "%d", ssubix);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "SVLAN", "%d", svlan);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "IATYP", "IPv4");
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "ISADDR", "%U",
+ format_ip4_address, isaddr);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "ISPORT", "%d", isport);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XATYP", "IPv4");
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XSADDR", "%U",
+ format_ip4_address, xsaddr);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "XSPORT", "%d", xsport);
+ syslog_msg_add_sd_param (&syslog_msg, "PROTO", "%d", proto);
+
+ /* Send syslog message */
+ syslog_msg_send (&syslog_msg);
+
+Example above produces following syslog message: <134>1

+XSADDR=“10.0.0.3” XSPORT=“16253” PROTO=“6”]
+
+To add free-form message use:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ syslog_msg_add_msg (&syslog_msg, "event log entry");
