fromhost¶

Reports the hostname of the system from which the message was received.

This property belongs to the Message Properties group.

Name:: fromhost
Category:: Message Properties
Type:: string

Description¶

Hostname of the system the message was received from (in a relay chain, this is the system immediately in front of us and not necessarily the original sender). This is a DNS-resolved name, except if that is not possible or DNS resolution has been disabled. Reverse lookup results are cached; see Reverse DNS caching for controlling cache timeout. Forward lookups for outbound connections are not cached by rsyslog and are resolved via the system resolver whenever a connection is made.

Usage¶

template(name="example" type="list") {
    property(name="fromhost")
}
