Hi I don't create any local file to capture logs, everything piped to mysql database so that I can query it using php-syslog-ng. ##################################### options { group(logs); dir_group(logs); perm(0640); dir_perm(0750); create_dirs(yes); use_time_recvd(yes); sync(0); use_fqdn(no); stats (7200); log_fifo_size(4096); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(no); bad_hostname("gconfd"); gc_idle_threshold(500); gc_busy_threshold(10000); }; ############################################################# Issue: I maintain all the device entry on the hosts file, usually syslog-ng rewrites hostname for the log source. For some reason it is not able to rewrite host names for the logs that is generated from all my APC devices.

Hi
Bellow is my Environment:
* Host: Linux version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp
(bhcompile@decompose.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005
usually not relevant
* mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.7, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) * httpd-2.2.0 * php-5.1.2
Not syslog's fault, unless you plan on dumping all your logs to an SQL database, but really it could be any database in practise.
* syslog-ng-1.6.9.orig
Useful bit.
My Issue:
I am not able to re-write UPS's name,
to me an "UPS's" is a uninterruptable power supply....is that what you mean. As you don't put it in any context (why don't you get it to advertise a different name?) its hard to tell what you are doing. Usually when confronted by a support request with no detail I ask the four magic questions that seem applicable to *any* fault: 1. what is it you are actually trying to do? 2. how are you trying to go about doing it? 3. what are you expecting to happen? 4. what is actually happening? We all need details, examples, configuration extracts, errors being quoted. Whats going into syslog-ng and whats coming out? Explain why your "UPS's" are fixed with their name. We all would love to help but, I at least, don't have the foggiest of an idea in regards to what you are talking about. What little I can extract I think what you could use is the template() system and strap it to some rDNS lookups cached locally with a lightweight DNS server on the local machine. Of course I need to know what it is you are trying to do :( Cheers Alex

does this really need to be this long? Why can't people have "disclaimer at http://example.com/legal-mumble-jumble.html"? </rant>
