In that case the only sensible options are:

* upgrade & use add-contextual-dat

  or

* use /etc/hosts and keep-hostname(no)

I noticed if I have mutiple source files I only get logs from the last source only. Does that make sense?

source s_sys {

        file ("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel: "));

    system();

    internal();

    udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));

};

source s_udp { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); };

source s_alarm { udp( ip(0.0.0.0)  port(514) use_dns(persist_only) ); };

log { source(s_sys); filter(f_ciena); destination(d_ciena); };

log { source(s_alarm); filter(f_alarm); destination(d_alarm); };

As soon as I commented all the other sources and only kept the s_sys, I started getting logs again from

those routers.

OK I verified. I cannot have two source like this. logs with source s_udp stop receiving data.

source s_udp { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); };

source s_alarm { udp( ip(0.0.0.0)  port(514) use_dns(persist_only) ); };

I need most sources use the default use_dns(yes) and only a handful of source with use_dns(persist_only).

How do I configure that?
