is it possible to get the IP of the host that is sending syslog message?

Trying to solve the problem of bad sender syslog config (that is missing hostname), would like to be able to somehow identify where are the broken messages coming from.

When I looked at syslogTcp http://grepcode.com/file/repository.cloudera.com/content/repositories/releases/org.apache.flume/flume-ng-core/1.3.0-cdh4.2.0/org/apache/flume/source/SyslogUtils.java#SyslogUtils.extractEvent%28org.apache.flume.source.ChannelBuffer%29 I see that it tries to get hostnam eby parsing message. I would like to have a fallback in case message does not have the hostname.

  thanks!
