Dear All

I am new to Splunk, and we are using log4j2 configuration file with HttpAppender to send logs , but I am not able to add Host name.

This is what I use:

${hostName} variable used in below line should provide required value for Host.

<Property name="Host" value="${hostName}"></Property>

Reference from Log4j documentation:
"The default map is pre-populated with a value for "hostName" that is the current system's host name or IP address"
