    we would see this in cluster settings / Rsyslog and add a text zone corresponding to name.

    See example in word.

    Hello,
    Your solution doesn't met our requirement. Nickname is limited to 8 caracters and in relation to SMS name would be very usefull.
    Our syslog must identify the VTS with minimum 22 caracters.
    What we want is a solution to change the name that is sent in rsyslog as in case TS007248781
    Thanks.

    As of code levels R5.1, RSYSLOG includes the TS7700 distributed library ID and the user defined cluster ???nickname" in the hostname (e.g. distributed-lib_SN_MI-host-name). The cluster nickname is set up under the Cluster Summary Action drop-down under ???Modify Cluster Identification" on the TS7700 Management Interface. Does this meet your needs?

    Today, when data are sent to syslog, device name is by default:
    LinuxServer @ 00C42_78-H9210_VTSPCCL0

    for internal reason, we have to change it to:
    LinuxServer @

    Please provide an example of how you would see this working and where would user input this source name. Please elaborate.
