[syslog-ng] Problem with hostnames!

[Edward Brookhouse]

 -Hmm.. I think syslog ng internal calls DNS but doesn't look at the
hosts file 

 

 

I didn't actually look this up - so ymmv

Hi All!

 

I am using Syslog-ng with php-syslog-ng. to give names of my choices to
different hosts IP what i did was to define hostnames against each IP of
host in /etc/hosts file.

 

It was working fine with Public IP adresses.. But I have some hosts on
local network too with 192.168 IPs . The pRoblem i am now facing is that
its not storing logs with HOSTNAMES of private IPs. Where as its working
fine and giving names of Public IPs. 

 

For example In My /etc/hosts file i have these 2 entries

 

202.164.1.1         broadband-router   

192.168.77.1       primary-router 

 

For 1st entry Logs in database will come with name broadband-router,
which is what i want 

For 2nd Entry Logs in database will come with name 192.168.77.1, which
is what i Don't want

 

 

Any body has any idea?? any thing to do in configuration of syslog-ng??

 

Regards,

 

-Geni
