due to the known bug of f5 ...
Bug ID 1057305: On deployments that use DPDK, "-c" may be logged as the TMM process/thread name.
cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1057305.html

...some syslog lines may start with "-c[123]" instead of the expected common "tmm[123]", which causes sc4s to mark these structurally valid lines as nix:syslog, causing incorrect further parsing in splunk

probably it makes sense to add a workaround by pattern like ^-c\[\d+\] to avoid transforms on the splunk end

example of normal line
