SyslogAppender and remote rsyslog server

[er...@orange.com]

Hello,

 

I send Tomcat logs to a remote rsyslog server via a SyslogAppender.

 

My appender configuration is the following :

 

<appender name="rtAppenderSyslog" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender">

  <param name="SyslogHost" value="xx.xx.xx.xx"/>

  <param name="Facility" value="local3"/>

  <param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"/>

  <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

    <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %-5p (%c{5}:%L) - %m%n" />

  </layout>

</appender>

 

The rsyslog server receives correctly the Tomcat logs but the rsyslog $hostname variable contains the IP address of the Tomcat server.

 

Could you tell me if it's possible to get the Tomcat server hostname instead of its IP address ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards

 

PS : Log4j release : log4j-1.2.16

       Tomcate release : 6.0.35

       OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)

 

Éric
