Following previous patch, we know implement the logic for the host option under log-forward section. Possible strategies are: replace If input message already contains a value for the host field, we replace it by the source IP address from the sender. If input message doesn't contain a value for the host field (ie: '-' as input rfc5424 message or non compliant rfc3164 or rfc5424 message), we use the source IP address from the sender as host field. fill If input message already contains a value for the host field, we keep it. If input message doesn't contain a value for the host field (ie: '-' as input rfc5424 message or non compliant rfc3164 or rfc5424 message), we use the source IP address from the sender as host field. keep If input message already contains a value for the host field, we keep it. If input message doesn't contain a value for the host field, we set it to localhost (rfc3164) or '-' (rfc5424). (This is the default) append If input message already contains a value for the host field, we append a comma followed by the IP address from the sender. If input message doesn't contain a value for the host field, we use the source IP address from the sender. Default value (unchanged) is "keep" strategy. option host is only relevant with rfc3164 or rfc5424 format on log targets. Also, if the source address is not available (ie: UNIX socket), default behavior prevails. Documentation was updated.
