Does anyone know of a tool to read the facility and severity info from inbound syslog packets? I have a number of devices that are sending me syslog info and I can't determine what facility they're using.
From your description I'm not sure exactly what your problems are, but _if_ you're using syslog-ng (if not, why not?!:) and _if_ I understand what you need then I think I would simply create two sets of temporary logfiles: one set would log everything at every severity and the other would log everything at every facility. Then I'd look in the logs to see if I recognized any of the output.
A lot simpler and, er, more deterministic than hacking C and/or Perl. -- 73, Ged.
