hi All!

 

I am running syslog-ng logging in msyql database with phpsyslog-ng as front end.

 

Now i have 1 problem. The Devices which are sending logs don't have any hostnames associated with them nor i am running any DNS server. As a result the listing of hosts i am getting are in the form of IP addresses of hosts.

 

Is it possible to show hostname against IP adresses?? Like x.x.x.x will be shown as ABC-ROUTER ??

 

if i define ABC-Router as x.x.x..x in /etc/hosts .. what configuration do i need to make in syslog-ng.conf??

 

Regards,
