All;
I am using syslog-ng to log both the local server and remote clients. Right now I log the clients like so and it works the way it should:
destination d_remotehosts {
file( "/var/log/HOSTS/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" perm( 0644 ) create_dirs( yes ) dir_perm( 0755 ) );
};
However, it is not as helpful when multiple remote clients get recognized as $HOST = 192.168.x.x. Since most remote clients are IP phones, logging using the MAC address instead of the IP address would be much more valuable, but I don’t see in the manual where that’s possible. Is it possible to log using the MAC address? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;
John
