DNAT utility (dnatutil) unable to handle syslog with structured data.

Impact

dnatutil reverse map using rfc5424 syslog with structured data content.

Conditions

Deterministic NAT LSN pool with "Syslog" log publisher, where the syslog log entry contains structured data.

Workaround

Use default log format of "BSD format", or configure syslog daemon to only output raw syslog content.

Fix Information

dnatutil can parse deterministic NAT state information from structured data rfc5424 log format.
