Hi,

If I understand you well, You should use HOST macro in the file name.

Hi Sandor,

I do not need to maintain the file hierarchy

I just one to transfer the file path to the server and use it as a macro on the server side

because the path is the only way I am able to identify the files I send as they have the same name and same content

I'm having some trouble understading what you're after. Do you want to
simply transfer files from remote systems to a central place and keep a
similar filesystem hierarchy on the central location as well? For such a
purpose syslog isn't the preferred way as it isn't a generic purpose
transport so use something else like rsync.

There are ways to manipulate messages on the originating side (for
example by adding tags to the syslog-ng source definitions) and
encapsulating the extra information into the message payload you'll be
able to extract the information on the remote side - but I'm not sure it
worths the effort.

hth,

Sandor
