SysSock.ParseHostname

Expects hostnames on the system log socket when special parsing is disabled.

This parameter applies to imuxsock: Unix Socket Input Module.

Name:

SysSock.ParseHostname

Scope:

module

Type:

boolean

Default:

module=off

Required?:

no

Introduced:

8.9.0

Description

Note

This option only has an effect if SysSock.UseSpecialParser is set to “off”.

Normally, the local log sockets do not contain hostnames. If set to on, parsers will expect hostnames just like in regular formats. If set to off (the default), the parser chain is instructed to not expect them.

Module usage

module(load="imuxsock" sysSock.parseHostname="on")
