I do this by adding the following to my config file @module confgen context(rewrite) name(r_myself) exec("/bin/hostname") rewrite r_local { set( r_myself(), value("HOST") ); }; log { source(s_your_source); rewrite(r_local); destination(d_your_destination); }; hope that helps.

The backticks replace content, so you end up with a literal in your config. Try this instead:
rewrite r_host { set("`HOSTNAME`", value("HOST")); };
That certainly fixes the config from complaining, but I now just get an empty string; for which syslog-ng replaces with the hosts IP instead.
I’m just trying to re-write each messages host with the hostname of the current server.
