This was actually done inadvertently as part of my syslog parser work. The value will be stored in the "hostname" parm. Marking as fixed.

In cases where
Syslogd
is able to determine the source host of a syslog message, it uses that value to attempt to look up which OpenNMS node corresponds to that host identifier, which allows it to reparent the events. This is nice, but the source node is not always in our inventory, and we should preserve the identifier in these cases, perhaps in an event parameter calledsysloghost
.
