This is the syslog that I currently receive from sonicwall vpn. Here I had already created rules based the priority level now I need to create rules based on the events.
Is there any means to add event id to syslog?

@Mithun_Haridas the Event ID is the value of "m=" in your syslog.

Can you elaborate more about your objective? Do you have the intent to customize Syslog events or introduce a new event?
Actually I am planning to create new rules for Sonicwall VPN in Wazuh.
Now I have created some rules tagging the priority level of the VPN. But I need to create the rules more specifically for that I need to get the event ID's. Currently the syslog that I receive does not contain the event ID of the sonicwall.
So is it possible to include the Event ID to the syslog that I receive?
Hope my question is clear.
Can you elaborate on what you need, what is "Event ID" - are you referring to something like the Windows event_id?

In the above pdf from page 10 onwards Event ID is mentioned.
I am not getting these ID's in the log that is been forwarded in syslog. So how to include the Event ID seen in the console to the log that I receive that is been forwarded in syslog.
@BWC Thank you for the response.
Examples in the Log Events Reference guide.
