problem with event logging

Hi all, 

 

in short - how can I change the formatting on the event logs going to a syslog server?

in detail - 
 I have configured my cluster to to send event logs to Splunk.

mucfs01::> event notification destination show -name fluentd_sierra Destination Name: fluentd_sierra Type of Destination: syslog Destination: fluentd.sierra.local Server CA Certificates Present?: - Client Certificate Issuing CA: - Client Certificate Serial Number: - Client Certificate Valid?: - mucfs01::> event filter show -filter-name forSplunk Filter Name Rule Rule Message Name SNMP Trap Type Severity Position Type ----------- -------- --------- ---------------------- --------------- -------- forSplunk 1 include * * EMERGENCY, ALERT, ERROR 2 exclude * * * 2 entries were displayed.

 

Splunk sees the hostname as cluster nodename + event message name

And if you look at how packages are being sent from NetApp, the syslog package is created this way.

I don't know the reason for this, but I could not change it. And this way it is creating for each event on each node a new 'host' entry on Splunk, which ends up with 100x new non-existing nodes.

I want to be able to modify the syslog event like

hostname = name of the node

ident = message name

message = message text
