Thanks, Rainer. I got the impression that it should have already worked based
on the examples on this page: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imudp.html Though, it
never says *where* that name is actually displayed; I just assumed that it
would be propagated into the stats reporting, since the action/queue names are
(thanks for that, by the way, makes my stats gathering much more reliable).
Either way, I'll look for this in some future build, it's not a blocker for me.
Thanks!Robert
