I have keep_hostname(yes) set in my global options, and no other mention of it anywhere else in my config. However, when I look at the remote system's logs, they are all tagged with the ip address of my syslog-ng host. I'm just trying to forward Cisco syslogs from my machine to another one, and using a filter for local7 is working great. I just need to figure out why the actual host is not being detected.
