No, it’s not possible with graylog. But you have another options:

1. send directly as syslog format from rsyslog
2. send from rsyslog to graylog using GELF format:  
[https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/tutorials/gelf\_forwarding.html](https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/tutorials/gelf_forwarding.html)
3. send from rsyslog to kafka
4. and more

Check docs:
