# Parsing enterprise-wide message model (EWMM) messages

The `ewmm-parser()` can be used to parse messages sent by another AxoSyslog host using the enterprise-wide message model (EWMM) format. Available in version 3.16 and later. Note that usually you do not have to use this parser directly, because the [default-network-drivers() source](../../docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-sources/source-default-network-drivers/index.md) automatically parses such messages.

## Declaration:
```
       parser parser_name {
            ewmm-parser();
        };
    
```
