Re: [syslog-ng] Specific log messages have wrong hostname

All of the syslog messages sent by our Solaris servers that contain output from the service processor are getting the wrong hostname assigned to them - the log messages get filed under the hostname of the receiving syslog-ng server. They all share the same process name "SC Alert". The packets look correctly formed so I am assuming it is the space in the process name. Any way to fix this without dropping the messages completely using something like bad_hostname? We are running 2.1.11a Enterprise Edition.

bad_hostname() was invented for this purpose. Or the 3.0.x versions provide rewrite functionality that lets you fix things like this. -- Bazsi
