Syslog: format option to include timezone in message is not working in 1.4.3
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Remote syslog option to include the time-zone is not working.

Configuration to reproduce:

set system syslog host 192.0.2.1 facility all level 'all'
set system syslog host 192.0.2.1 format include-timezone

Before using the format option, the syslog messages are included:

192.0.2.2.52281 > 192.0.2.1.514: [bad udp cksum 0x8450 -> 0xc595!] SYSLOG, length: 51
    Facility daemon (3), Severity info (6)
    Msg: Sep  5 01:01:07 tester-1 systemd[1]: Reloading.

Tested with rolling release where the option works:
