    This is being treated as a defect. A fix is in test that will report the rsyslog HOSTNAME using the System Name that is configured at Settings>Notifications>Library Information. This fix will be in library fix pack 1.8.0.1 which has a target release date of September, 2021.

    Hi,
    Customers use rsyslog to save the logs in their own DC and forwards the logs for example to QRADAR for an automated check of access. How can a customer perform an automated check for unauthorized commands if he cannot identify the system with his system name.

    In my opinion, this rfe must be implemented urgently!

    Best regards
