Hello, I'm currently playing with a number of dovecot instances to evaluate my "next generation setup" For now I run 6 instances of dovecot, one per docker container: - 2x redirector - 2x backend #1 - 2x backend #2
All docker container use syslog. And there the problems starts. Every instance identify itself as "dovecot" That's not helpful :-/ I tried to set an instance name but that change nothing. My options are now - let rsyslogd separate the sources by IP - use logfiles files Are there other? Currently the code use a fixed string "dovecot": https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-master/master-service.c#L415 I would ask if it's possible to use the instance name as syslog identifier, too?
