How to change host field

[m13....@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I'm trying to modify the host field because several machines have the same name but not in the same dns zone.

I'm using the host_param directive as explain in http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/config-file but I suppose I did something wrong because it's not working.

I want to use the name returned by the command `hostname` and not the first part of my fqdn `hostname -f`.

In my td-agent.conf I wrote:

<system>
  host_param "#{Socket.gethostname}"
</system>
@include conf.d/*.conf

But the logs (I'm testing with syslog on debian 7) keep the first part of my fqdn in the host field.
I tried with a static value for the host_param but with the same result.

If someone know where fluent read the name or how to use the host_param, you're very welcome :).

thanks

Sorry for the delay.

http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/config-file#4-set-system-wide-configuration-the-ldquosystemrdquo-directive

system directive is for global setting so it doesn't affect the field.

And system directive supports only listed parameters.

If you want to override the host_param field in the events,

using fluent-plugin-record-reformer in v0.10 or

record_transofrmer filter is better.
