I am getting the messages on my syslog-ng server but the hostname is not there .......The messages are there on the IP address based .....Is there a way to replace IP with the hostname..........
Most likely, you need 'reverse PTR' entries in the DNS.. So for instance, my laptop has an entry: turing-police.cc.vt.edu. 14400 IN A 128.173.14.107 There's also another entry: 107.14.173.128.in-addr.arpa. 14400 IN PTR turing-police.cc.vt.edu. You're probably missing the PTR zone.
