Hi,

Your syslog source is sending an invalid syslog packet (per the RFC).  In this case, the packet is too small to be valid.  You can enable a setting in Orion to have the syslog service "fix" these invalid packets.  Executing this SQL on your database should fix this issue and will enforce the RFC on all packets through the system.

UPDATE Settings
SET CurrentValue = 1
WHERE SettingID LIKE '%SysLog-EnableRfcRelay%'

Then restart your Syslog Service.

Please let me know if I can help any more with this issue.

Thanks
