is there a flow variable for hostname?

Not applicable

Looking for a simple way to get hostname in a variable in a flow. I want to use it for logging. Note: not the IP address- but the host name.

The documentation has this:

System variables

System variables contain system-related information. A system variable is prefixed with_system. wherever it is referenced. The part of the variable that appears after the prefix specifies the function in the system, such as host name, date, time, and interfaces. The supported system variables are listed below.

The problem is - host name is not mentioned in the list that follows.

I have tried system.host.name system.hostname - will keep trying unless someone can answer!

The answer is NO

While there appear to by many options for working around this or using other data to achieve a similar result - access to a hostname variable is no longer supported, or even documented in edge (see the comments above - the documentation was apparently updated to correctly reflect this during the conversation)
