This sounds like a bug. I'd appreciate if you could open a bug tracker for it:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues Thanks, Rainer 2014-12-04 12:43 GMT+01:00 Oded Arbel <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > I have several systems running rsyslog 8.2.0, and sending the log messages > to an external central server. As I have many servers running with > domain-specific host names, I have set up $localHostName with the full host > name (including domain name) so that on the central servers it is easy to > distringuish between logs from worker1.env1.company.com and > worker1.env2.company.com. > > And this works fine. > > I've recently built new system image with a new current rsyslog, which is > now 8.6.0, and there rsyslog behavior is quite interesting:when rsyslog > starts, it reports the full host name, but when actual messages start to > arrive, they all have just the local part of the host name. > > I'm using a couple of additional unix sockets (in addition to /dev/log) and > if I add relevant $InputUnixListenSocketHostName, then messages from those > sockets do have the correct host name - but I can't figure out how to > change the host name on the messages from the default /dev/log socket. Also > - I would much rather have a single host name definition, as we used for > the rsyslog 8.2.0 deployment, than to patch multiple configuration files > for each deployment. > > -- > Oded > _______________________________________________ > rsyslog mailing list > http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog > http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ > What's up with rsyslog?
