(This issue was originally filed by @PumpMagic at elastic/logstash#2552)

1.4.2's syslog input plugin (lib/logstash/inputs/syslog.rb) uses the grok syntax of "SYSLOGLINE". See line 58:

"match" => { "message" => "<%{POSINT:priority}>%{SYSLOGLINE}" },

As far as I can tell, this "SYSLOGLINE" syntax is undefined in patterns/grok-patterns, much less anywhere. Valid syslog messages passed to the syslog input are tagged with _grokparsefailure and are assigned a default syslog priority.
