hi, well if they're cisco's then: logging source-interface Loopback0 or which ever other interface you wish to use. Thanks, Graham On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, Brian E. Seppanen wrote:
Hi:
Sort of off topic, but someone here might be more familiar with this situation.
I monitor several routers with syslog-ng on a central host. One problem I'm facing is that I want to redirect logs dependent upon the router to different files. This works well, but I have one problem. We do not use DNS to resolve names, and we match upon host IP's. The problem is that the routers have several possible IP's and I'm finding that more and more often that I don't have a filter defined for certain IP's. My syslog-ng config is already a god awful mess and I'm hoping that I'm being short sighted and that there is a solution to my quandry. Is it possible to have the router log via one interface and therefore guarantee a host IP match?
Has anyone found a way to work around this? I'd really appreciate any insight. thanks,
