Ability to send message to zOS Syslog from Docker container in zCX

In an attempt avoid custom code running on the z/OS side I'm simply using fluentd to format the messages then write them out to the USS syslog, which in turn is set to write them to the console. They're being written out fine but are all preceded by BPXF024I e.g.

BPXF024I (OMVSKERN) Jun 9 11:00:00 zcx.test.com/logon 7657905c1b8d XYZ: ABC1990I server 'my-server' starting initialization; version '1.2.3.4' (64-bit)

I need a way to replace the default message ID BPXF024I with my own message ID.

    Hello
    Maybe there is a more holistic way to solve this generally as there is already a kind of solution available in SA for BPXM023I.
    ----
    Trapping messages issued with the UNIX __console() service
    Message BPXM023I is written to the operator when an application has called the __console() (BPX1CCS/
    BPX4CCS) service to issue a message and the process calling the service is not running with UID=0.
    BPXM023I is a wrapper that folds around the actual message. It is either a single-line or a multi-line
    message.
    To make this message easy to automate, an INGMSGSA automation table statement reformats it to have
    just one single format. This automation table statement removes the first line of the message if
    BPXM023I is a multi-line message, or removes the prefix if BPXM023I is a single-line message. Thus you
    can drive reliable automation for this message despite of the caller's privileges.
    How SA reformats BPXM023I is documented in the INGMSGSA automation table as follows.
