The error message indicates an error in name lookup, not an error in rsyslog.  The first thing you should look at is the order in which name resolution is to occur as specified on the "hosts" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.  If you must rely on DNS (or any network service) to resolve the name, then you must be prepared for occasional resolution failures.

If the address for z2500 never changes then you could put an entry for it in /etc/hosts and list "files" as the first element of the "hosts" entry.

Hi,

This error popped up in the logs:
2018-12-04T14:00:20.567320+01:00 z3001 rsyslogd: omfwd: could not get addrinfo 
for hostname 'z2500':'10514': Name or service not known [v8.39.0 try 
http://www.rsyslog.com

I have this action configured, and this looks ok to me.
The host can be resolved locally, and I can see traffic sent in tcpdump as 
shown below,

Is something else causing this Name or service not known error message?
