feature request : possibility to add a custom port to the syslog IP

[Zixim]

My syslog server is listening on port 5140 , there's no way to specify a syslog port in ESPEasy.

Adding a portnumber to the settings is a little bit tricky.
It isn't that hard, but let me think about it for now.
I was planning to change the log entirely, but maybe the re-design of that should wait until after the next release and then it should not be a problem to add the port now.

I would like to make the same request / bump this request up: Please allow for custom port for syslog.

I use cloud service "Papertrail" for syslog services, for years already, and they assign each of their customers a set of ports so they can distinguish between their customers.

Small extra request: be allowed to use hostname as well as IP for the syslog IP

@TD-er it is simply possible by extending host address like host:port, then check in software if it contains ':'
where host could be also IP

[TD-er]

If it is already a string and not an IP being stored, then sure it is a very simple fix.
But since @cybermaus did ask for a hostname, I don't think it is that easy.
Also check for max length of host being stored?

[cybermaus]

While I understand you meant it as hint/proof the field is not a string, but please note the hostname request is just a nicety. The port is the real request.

Also FYI: I did try the host:port and IP:port syntax already. But upon refresh the field comes back blank. Indeed only an IP address is accepted as value.

@TD-er - another vote from me. Ip address:port no for udp syslog.

Please..... pretty please?

[mozgovs]

One more vote from me.
IP:PORT will be enough;)

and another vote from me.

It has been implemented and will be merged soon.

Thank you!
