Hello.
I`m working on a project where I need to set up a syslog-environment. I have about 140 servers that needs to send their syslog-info to a centralized syslog-ng server. My challenge is that I need to identify each server with their own local-value. Default, syslog has a limitation in how many locals you can define, isn`t it 8? Has anyone had experience with changing this value to whatever number; e.g 100?
short answer: don't do it longer answer: the syslog facility mechanism is quite limited, and is not easy to do what you want. you should use message pattern matching instead, for example the host() filter. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
