How to get friendly name of a vsys into the syslogs?

L6 Presenter

I have followed the order described in to create a custom log format for use by a syslogserver which is much more happy of getting the logs with spacesas delimiter instead of the commas.

However I noticed that the $vsys variable only gives out text like "vsys1" instead of the friendly name which is regulary used by the vsys in all configuration (like the dropdown boxes in Panorama where you switch context).

Any specific reason for this and what do you think are the odds that a feature request to bring $vsysfriendly (or such) would succeed?

You can create a Sylog profile per VSYS and in the custom format fill in a meaningful name where you were thinking of using $vsys. There is no variable today that supports $vsys_name and it would be good to file an FR with your SE to request future implementation.

This is a completely valid FR.
