Earlier I posted a message asking about whether syslog-ng had standard equipment for dealing with a couple of strange message types:
1) Messages forwarded by AIX syslogd which contain the string
"Message forwarded from [hostname]: " ...
and
2) Messages of the form:
"last message repeated _n times"
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.
