syslogd to remote: all facilities appear as hostname?
« on: October 20, 2017, 04:03:58 am »
Hi

I think this thread perfectly describes my problem
https://serverfault.com/questions/155618/remote-logging-with-syslogd-can-i-change-the-hostname

Basically in syslogd's messages to a remote, the hostname is missing.
On the remote logger it mixes up with rsyslogd's messages from others, that prepend a hostname (seen as a source).

Is this intended behaviour or syslogd-only?

Sorry, I guess it's minor.
And I misunderstood the facilities part.

Hostname is missing, yes, but in my case (graylog) it's harmless to override it.
