Hi,
Rsyslog writes remote host's records as 'localhost' instead of its host
name.
How to correct it?

Client:
RHEL 6.5
rsyslog-5.8.10-8.el6.x86_64
rsyslog-relp-5.8.10-8.el6.x86_64

[code:2dnhpzft]$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system
logging (e.g. via logger command)
$ModLoad imklog   # provides kernel logging support (previously done by
rklogd)
$ModLoad omrelp
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
