Dear All, I've installed syslog-ng version 1.4.13, - it is really nice tool !! There is syslog-ng installed on each unix system. At the same time all logs are sent to the central server (where syslog-ng is installed also). At the cental server I'm triying to spread logs in the different directories by using macros like $HOST, $YEAR and so on. When I'm using $HOST directories I didn't manage to get the full domain name, - only short of it. For example, the full domain name is "server.domain.com".. but $HOST = "server".. Could you please give me a small hint what I should to change (in the system configuration, in the syslog-ng config-file)? I've tried to find the answer in the maillist archive but didn't succeed. Thank you very much! here is options section of syslog-ng.conf file (I'm using the same options on all servers): ------------------------------------------------------------ options { sync (0); time_reopen (5); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (on); use_dns (yes); use_fqdn (yes); create_dirs (yes); keep_hostname (yes); use_time_recvd(yes); }; ------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks again for your help and great tool ! regards, Slava
