Description
When sending to remote log sources, especially those that are used as logging solutions such as logstash, Graylog, Splunk, etc.. it would be a great benefit to be able to send PFSense messages in CEF (Common Event Format) so that when they arrive the fields are already parsed instead of having to write custom parsers. Custom parsers are even harder to implement based on format differences between different types of messages.

The Syslog-NG package already supports this:

Not viable for the built-in syslogd, what can be done is already possible in syslog-ng.
