Hi,
My rsyslog client configuration should be the same for all my clients except 
for the remote syslog server name and port.
I have two options :
Inside  the rsyslog.conf deduce them from the local hostname
Set them as environment variable (in /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog perhaps)

Of course the remote server and port don't change so the logic as to be done 
only once  at the startup and not for every message.

Should  something  like this work :
*.* action(type="omfwd" target="%$!remote_server%" port="%$!remote_port%" 
protocol="tcp")
Is there a way to use variable with the "old" syntax
*.** @@"%$!remote_server%:%$!remote_port%"

My tries were unsuccessful both with the new and the old syntax.

An important point to consider, I am stuck with rsyslog 7.4 as provided by 
redhat/Centos.

Best regards
Philippe
