Can I change default syslog facilities? (9.4.3)

Hello,   is there a way to change the default syslog facilities?   We have an external syslog server (Not managed by us, of course;-) which only forwards facilty 7 messages to the log files ...

Appreciate your help Nitass... it's working now... below is my working code....

 

 

Note: I removed the $DATE and $HOST entry since it's already part of the MSG header...

 

 

b syslog include '"
filter f_local3a {
   facility(local3);
};
template t_asm {
   template(\"<190> $MSGHDR$MSG\n\");
   template_escape(no);
};

destination d_loghost5a {
udp(\"2.2.2.2\" port (514) template(t_asm));
};
log {
   source(local);
   filter(f_local3a);
   destination(d_loghost5a);
};
"'
