options { keep_hostname(yes); use_dns(no); long_hostnames(off); sync(0); };
...and it shows the hostname in the logs as sent by the remote end. So I decide that the loghost I have at work, running syslog-ng 1.4.10 should be set up the same way. It currently uses reverse DNS to get the hostname (I don't like the trust in DNS, or the possible performance probs if there's DNS issues).
When I stick that line in the conf file, syslog-ng only logs the IP address of the remote host. This isn't consistent with how the host at home runs with the same options line. Both are linux, built from source. The one at home is still running 1.4.7 (I know, I need to upgrade it ;)
How do I make the newer verion keep the hostnames like the older one does?
hmm... this part has not changed since 1.4.7, so they should work the same. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
