Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marek Marusic 2015-06-30 09:39:15 UTC
Description of problem:
Rsyslog ignores HostName property of additional unix socket.
This applies to both new and old syntax.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsyslog-7.4.7-7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.add new input socket to default rsyslog.conf

New syntax:
input(type="imuxsock" HostName="TestSock" Socket="/dev/TestSock" CreatePath="on")

Old syntax:
$InputUnixListenSocketCreatePath on
$InputUnixListenSocketHostName TestSock
$AddUnixListenSocket $socket

2.restart rsyslog
3.logger -du /dev/TestSock "test message"
4.grep "test message" /var/log/messages

Actual results:
(This applies to both new and old syntax)
Jun 30 05:19:16 localhost root: test message

Expected results:
Jun 30 05:19:16 TestSock root: test message

Additional info:
On RHEL 6 & rsyslog7 with new syntax I got
Jun 30 05:27:41 TestSock root: test message

On RHEL 6 & rsyslog7 with old syntax I got
Jun 30 05:32:34 authpriv.* root: test message
