On Ubuntu (uses upstart):
I would like to have a dynamically created data as part of rsyslog
(essentially host id that I don't know before the host is created/started).
What is the best way to achieve this? I see that there is a way to
get environment variable in rsyslog config (using getenv) but since
rsyslog is started by init it has no env variables (i.e. the variables
in /etc/environment or /etc/profile.d/* are not set).
There is /etc/default/rsyslog but I would like to avoid changing
system files plus not sure how to make sure it's changed before the
system starts (it's a shell script so I guess I could add a line there
HOST_ID=$(getHostId))
thanks!
erik
