Hi, I just installed syslog-ng, and had a similar experience with a certain type of switches (Alteon's). Only in this case the syslog messages were formatted so that syslog-ng saw the level as the hostname (i.e. my syslog files would be named e.g. NOTICE.log when using $HOST.log for the filename). Using the bad_hostname() option, as described below, solved the problem. However, the question this is all leading to is this: When a hostname is matched by the bad_hostname option, what mechanism does syslog-ng use to establish a new name?
reverse DNS, or failing that, IP address. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
