Hi,

we are currently using udp for sending logs from rsyslog clients to a rsyslog server, but i want to move to relp. with udp, the fromhost propery is resolved to the hostname of the client, i.e without the domain. If i send logs via tcp (@@) instead, the fromhost property resolves to the fqdn of the client, and when i use relp, the fromhost property is not resolved at all - its just the ip address.

My problem is that i want to use relp but i want the fromhost property to resolve to the hostname - how can i make that happen?

Rsyslog version: rsyslog-3.21.9-2.fc10 (both clients and server)

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

I think this is currently not possible, at least not without code modifications. It would probably a good idea to file an enhancement request with the bug tracker, so that I can pick it up as soon as I have some time to do that. If I remember correctly, I've had a few requests for this functionality every now and then...
