[rsyslog] Hostname matching with DNS

[Rainer Gerhards]

Really quick: check the HOSTNAME (or so ;)) property.

Betreff: [rsyslog] Hostname matching with DNS

I have a couple host on private IPs 10.x.x.x and thus they have no
DNS entries. So rather that log the IP in syslog I setup host
entries for them.

If I do something like

:FROMHOST, isequal, "foobar"                -?dialup

it doesn't match the /etc/hosts entry I have for foobar. If I setup
a catchall entry that goes to a test log I see the line

Dec 24 10:06:23 foobar [This is the message]

So it's logging the hostname like I would expect it to (rsyslog is
aware of the host entry) but I can't match against it? Unfortunately
my server is SUPER busy now and I can't put the server in debug mode
to check what's coming across. Is there another way I could check this?
