Hi,

   I am using syslog-ng opensource version 1.6.5 on central syslog server. which is receiving logs from 4 collectors and some individual hosts.

To evaluate syslog-ng premium I got 30 day license of "syslog-ng-premium-edition 3.0.2a" and installed it on a new box. and forward events coming on central syslog server to this new box using a file template 

template("'$HOST'|'$FACILITY'|'$PRIORITY'|'$PROGRAM'|'$MONTH $DAY$ $YEAR $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC'|'$MSGONLY'\n"));
   
but here in $HOST I am getting name of central syslog server instead of actual host.

While in ver 1.6.5 it appears correct using same template on events coming from 4 collectors.

is there version incompatibility or some bug in ver 3.0.2a

Regards,
-Manish
