    The format for syslog messages is very precisely defined. RFC 5424 from 2009 set the standard for all messages. Any conforming client/server will be able to talk with any other. You can count on rsyslog being able to talk to syslog-ng. Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 17:11
  • As @doneal24 wrote, unless you configure rsyslog to send the logs in some nonstandard format, syslog-ng will understand them for sure, having rsyslog clients feed a syslog-ng server is a common usecase. Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 19:33
