Unfortunately the documentation leaves it unclear what exactly chain_hostnames() does.
I just guess it does something like creating a chained hostname in the form "host1/host2/host3".
What about use_fqdn() in that case? Will it be "host1.example.com/host2.example.com/host3.example.com"? Am I right when I think that use_fqdn() does only take effect for the hostname where syslog-ng is currently running on?
Let's say use_fqdn() is on on host1 and host3 and off on host2. I guess it would look like this then: "host1.example.com/host2/host3.example.com"
Can somebody clear it up? :-)
use_fqdn only affects local name resolution, sometimes names of the sending host is resolved, when it is not present in the message. In this case use_fqdn() affects that as well. -- Bazsi
