Enhancement request: logger should use FQDN

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I noticed recently while using logger in some scripts that it is not
following RFC and choosing the FQDN first if available.  This stands out for
hosts with $PreserveFQDN in rsyslogd.conf as all other messages will use
FQDN and logger messages will use short hostname.  
This behavior poses problems when wrangling syslog data in a correlator like
Splunk.  

Sadly I'm no coder so I cannot sort out the problem and provide a patch, but
I'm hoping one of the logger maintainers/contributors might be able to help
out.

Thanks very much,
