Syslog include configuration sync

Is there anyway in v11 (currently running 11.3.0) to not sync the syslog include section (in bigip_base.conf) between members of a Sync group? We use the syslog include section to insert the hostname...

Hello,

Yes that solves it thanks, it helps if I edit the correct snippet of the file (there is a very similar section that now I look at it clearly is to do with log rotation which was obviously not fixing the sync of the config): 

syslog_include {
            appdata unix_config_syslogrotate.replace.include
            class-name logrotate
            configsyncd yes
            display-name "Include Data for syslog logrotate file"
            type string
        }

I'm going to do some digging for this, but does anybody know if it's possible to make these changes via icontrol? We have a script that will configure settings for new deployments via icontrol already (configures syslog/NTP/networks etc) but I don't want people to then log on and have to edit these files manually every time now that the autobuilder does everything else.

Thanks a lot.

Ben
