It would be enough if it could be accessed but I don't know if that makes sense

Objet : Re: [rsyslog] imfile include filename or statefile in the message.

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.
