Hi I wish to use syslog-ng to log messages received on the UDP port. I have a very simple .conf file: ============================== # Syslog-ng test file for BB failure logging # # D Aldrich 27/11/2003 options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); keep_hostname(yes);}; # Listen on udp port 514 of all available interfaces source net { udp(); }; destination d_net { file("/var/log/bb.log"); }; filter f_auth { facility(auth); }; log { source(net); destination(d_net); }; ============================ An example of a logged message using this file is: Nov 28 11:27:44 embedded This is a test message I assume that "embedded" here is the hostname of the source. Am I correct? Can I configure syslog-ng to display an explicit IP address rather than the host name? Thanks David
