Hostname instead of IP addresses

[Kreno]

Hello all,

I am pretty new to syslog-ng. I have configure it on Opensolaris.
I would like to configure in syslog-ng that instead of IP addresses I would like to get Hostname(s) from network devices, when syslog-ng is creating folders and log files. I do not have DNS server in my test environment and I have put all names and IP addresses in /etc/hosts file. Curently syslog-ng is logging like this: /var/log/syslog-ng/router/192.168.1.1/2010/192.168.1.1.log

Any help appreciated.

Thank you and kind regards, M

A destination statement like this:

  destination hosts {
   file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$HOST.log";
  };
 
should do the trick.

Thank you. Also the problem was that I had to change: use_dns (off ); to use_dns (persist_only);


Thank you and kind regards, Marko
