Hi!
I would like to log several computer which are behind nat. The problem is i cannot find the right metod to log by the hostname not by the ip reverse name from where the packets come.
But i got this:
Oct 1 02:34:27 external ip/external ip
Is there a possibility to devide the logs by the original hostname?
Most syslog implementations don't send the hostname in the syslog message over the network. http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/syslog.html#problems If you have syslog-ng on the clients behind the NAT gateway, set keep_hostname(yes) on the central syslog server. http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html#hostname -- Nate "Let us endeavour to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." - Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar(1894) - Samuel Clemens
