Hello Martin,

I'm sorry but SL4NT does not support fixed width columns in its current

version (1.2). I will think about implementing this feature in the next

version but as of now I can't give you a date for the release of the =

next

version.

If you have scripting experience, I can only recommend that you take a =

look

at my new product System Scripting Host. It includes a syslog receiver =

and

by using scripting code you have complete control about the output =

format.

The product includes a simple syslog daemon sample script, which may =

serve

as a starting point for your purposes.

Best regards,

Franz Krainer
