The string parser's RFC5424 path slices the timestamp with an `idx` variable that only exists in the regexp parser, so any input taking the repeated-space branch raised NameError instead of being parsed. This branch is reachable whenever `time_format` contains a space, for example the RFC3164-style `%b %d %H:%M:%S` with a space-padded day. Signed-off-by: Shizuo Fujita <fujita@clear-code.com>

…has repeated spaces (#5449) (#5497) **Which issue(s) this PR fixes**: Partial backport of #5449 Related to #5496 Fixes # **What this PR does / why we need it**: The RFC3164 string parser slices the timestamp with an `idx` variable that only exists in the regexp parser, so any message taking the repeated-space branch raised `NameError` instead of being parsed. That branch is reached whenever `time_format` contains a space and the timestamp is space-padded, for example `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S` against `<14>2026-04-25 16:43:29 host app: msg`. This backports only the `NameError` fix. The rest of #5449 makes the parser accept a space after the priority, which changes behavior, so it is left out. **Docs Changes**: N/A **Release Note**: * parser_syslog: fix NameError when RFC3164 timestamp has repeated spaces Signed-off-by: Shizuo Fujita <fujita@clear-code.com>
