Description

Currently, it's not possible to get the IP (v4/v6) address of the syslog server that sent the message.

So, I would like a syslog.ip attribut with the IP address of the syslog server.

Use case:

• Useful for monitoring (with different policy monitoring depending of the IP)
• The hostname is not always present in the syslog message, so the IP could be used to identify the syslog server that sent the message
