That's a good question. One the one hand, a variable that explicity gives the
filename gives the most flexibility, but combining it with the input name
probably makes for a simpler config and is close enough to "do the right think
automatically" that it would satisfy new users the vast majority of the time.
the "best" answer would probably be to allow the input name to have a %% in it
that gets replaced by the filename, and have a separate filename variable. But
that's probably a bit on the messy side to implement.

append the filename to the input name if it's a wildcard or something like
that?

This is a new feature, so I'm not sure. But if you log with the format
RSYSLOG_DebugFormat you will see all the variables that are defined.
Take a
look and see what's listed.

Hi list,
Using imfile to watch a whole directory, I need to include the filename
or the generated state file name in the message.
Is there any available variable to do that ?
Thanks
Philippe
