[syslog-ng]centralized loghost

[Guillaume LACHENAL]

name resolution can rely on /etc/hosts depending on /etc/nsswitch.conf of 
course.
but use_dns has to be set to yes, even using only /etc/hosts for 
resolution

(tested)

 OK.
I'll modify it tomorrow when back at work.
Is there a way hostname resolution rely on /etc/hosts ?
I'll prefer this setting. Just in case the DNS suffer a DoS
 
thanks a lot
regards,
 
Guillaume

You have use_dns(no).  Therefore the value of $HOST is the IP address.  If
you want the hostname instead then you need to turn on the use_dns option.

I've just install syslog-ng 1.5.21 for centralizing all servers log's

Here is the conf file :

- - syslog-ng.conf - -

options { use_dns(no); sync(0); };

source s_internal { internal(); };
source net { udp( ip(192.168.12.2) port(514) ); };

destination hosts { file( "/var/log/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY"\
create_dirs(yes) owner("root") group("root")\
perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) ); };

log { source(s_internal); source(net); destination(hosts); };

- -

the problem is that logs go to

/var/log/IP_of_$HOST/ ...

Thanks for help

G.
