syslog and hostname

rcainc · 08-19-2007, 06:56 PM

Hi all,

I have a little problem with the syslog configuration.
I configure it to send all log to a log server.
Everything work fine but syslog send the ip has hostname, and i would rather syslog to send the hostname.
What should i do ?
Thank you for reading.

Which part of the configuration are you specifically referring to?

On the client side, you should be able to specify the log server in /etc/syslog.conf as:

Code:

*.*        @hostname

Yes,
i did that and that work well, but in the server (Kiwi Syslog Daemon),
the hostname of the sender is the ip not the hostname.
