    HI ,

     

    We have solution for this.

     

    https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K76259573

     

    Recommended Actions

     

    Include "options {use_fqdn(yes); keep_hostname(no); };" to syslog configuration :

     

    Use following command in CLI:

     

     tmsh modify sys syslog include "options {use_fqdn(yes); keep_hostname(no); };"

     

     

    F5 has option to mark his host name in (only host name or FQDN name) in syslog message.
