Hi All! I am using Syslog-ng with php-syslog-ng. to give names of my choices to different hosts IP what i did was to define hostnames against each IP of host in /etc/hosts file. It was working fine with Public IP adresses.. But I have some hosts on local network too with 192.168 IPs . The pRoblem i am now facing is that its not storing logs with HOSTNAMES of private IPs. Where as its working fine and giving names of Public IPs. For example In My /etc/hosts file i have these 2 entries 202.164.1.1 <http://202.164.1.1> broadband-router 192.168.77.1 <http://192.168.77.1> primary-router For 1st entry Logs in database will come with name broadband-router, which is what i want For 2nd Entry Logs in database will come with name 192.168.77.1<http://192.168.77.1>, which is what i Don't want Any body has any idea?? any thing to do in configuration of syslog-ng??
