Hi all, while looking for optimization opportunities, I found that some imtcp returns hostnames inconsistent with what the other modules do. In all modules but imtcp, the hostname is normalized, that is converted to all lower case. However, in imtcp this normalization is not done.
I would like to combine the hostname handling, which also provides some nice performance improvement opportunities (I can do more preprocessing inside the cache module). However, this means we need to have a consistent handling. As the vast majority of modules converts to lower case, I would do that in all cases in the future. Questions now: 1) Is converting hostnames to lower case a good choice? 2) Do I break to much with this change? Aka: must the inconsistency be preserved? Feedback appreciated. Thanks, Rainer _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
