Description: The number of messages received by the syslog receiver which had malformed header. If this syslog application is not a syslog receiver, then this object will have a zero value. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of syslogOperationsCounterDiscontinuityTime.
What is syslogOperationsMsgsMalFormed?
Counts messages this syslog receiver got with a malformed header; stays zero if this application isn't a receiver, useful for spotting a misbehaving or non-compliant sender.
