Hi there,
we're shipping our logs to a centralized syslog instance. That works great for all types of logs from the PA with the exceptions of the CONFIG logs.
The CONFIG logs are submitted at all, with the problem that the interesting parts "before-change-detail" and "after-change-detail" are not delivered.
Does anyone else ship CONFIG logs and if yes, do you see the same behaviour?
Thanks for advice.

@bgooch what version of code are you using?
On 10.2.10, configuring a custom log format which includes $before-change-detail and $after-change-detail does not yield field values with details.
I opened NSFR-I-28389 for this in 2019.
