Hello,

i'm testing actually HM 3.32. There is a slight problem with sending messages to a syslog server. Most OS's and apps sending a string like this:

snprintf(buffer, EVENT_FORMAT_LEN,
"<%d>%s %s[%s] %s",
priority, (facility & severity)
date,
source, (ex. 'hostmon')
--> type|pid, (typically unix: pid)
for hostmon maybe
error or success
msg text|macros

HM writes only 'hostmon.exe' as source and no type|pid.

Setting the type|pid value would be more consistent. Otherwise is HM great stuff!

regards
