PreserveCase

Controls whether fromhost preserves original case.

This parameter applies to imudp: UDP Syslog Input Module.

Name:

PreserveCase

Scope:

module

Type:

boolean

Default:

module=off

Required?:

no

Introduced:

8.37.0

Description

This parameter is for controlling the case in fromhost. If PreserveCase is set to “on”, the case in fromhost is preserved, e.g., Host1.Example.Org when the message was received from Host1.Example.Org. Default is “off” for backward compatibility.

Leave it at the default when existing rules rely on lowercase fromhost values. Enable it when downstream systems must match the DNS spelling returned by reverse lookup.

Module usage

module(load="imudp" PreserveCase="...")
