[Bug 1191460] Re: $PreserveFQDN and $LocalHostName not always used

[Evan Broder]

There's a comment at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
branches/ubuntu/saucy/rsyslog/saucy/view/head:/tools/syslogd.c#L2428
that says we need to re-call GenerateLocalHostNameProperty after parsing
config, but as far as I can tell, that doesn't happen.

Does adding a call to queryLocalHostname() around line 2958 of
tools/syslogd.c make this work?

Title:
  $PreserveFQDN and $LocalHostName not always used

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The $PreserveFQDn and $LocalHostname options are not always used when configured. To be precise, they seem to only be used in messages from rsyslog itself and not from other daemons or applications.
  OS: Ubuntu 13.04
  Rsyslog: 5.8.11-2ubuntu2.2

  Steps to reproduce:

  - Configure $PreserveFQDN or $LocalHostName
  - Restart rsyslog
  - Check in /var/log/syslog. Messages from rsyslog itself will use the fqdn or the configured hostname, messags from sudo, sshd etc etc will only use the plain hostname.
