I'm also receiving messages of the form:
"above message repeats _n times"
I suspect this is coming from Red Hat of some derivation as that is what we have around here, with the exception of the HP-UX boxes - but I don't think they do that.
Is there any way the code can artificially insert a hostname into these? Perhaps the message text can be put into a list in a file, and the code can determine who the network connection is coming from, and add the appropriate hostname to it. Or perhaps it could do this automatically to every message: if the hostname is missing, add it.
syslog-ng adds the hostname to messages automatically unless you turn this behaviour off by setting keep_hostname() to yes. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
