Rsyslog /var/log/messages
Hi all,

I have a installed and configured rsyslog-1.17.6 for a centralized
syslog server, currently it's accepting syslogs at both UDP as well as
TCP but when I check my /var/log/messages file I find that it doesn't
log the hostname.

Pasting the one of the syslog
Aug 16 08:07:56 50091162 08/16/2007 07:08:03.390 ..truncated

In place of 50091162 it should log the ip address.

I did some initial research in which it was mentioned the template needs
to have %FROMHOST% rather than %HOSTNAME% which I did but to no luck.

Thanks in advance for help.

rsyslog 1.19.0 was released yesterday. Maybe you want to give it a try.

If the problem still persist, could you provide a raw message as it is
received by rsyslog. More information about
rawmsg and properties at
http://www.rsyslog.com/module-Static_Docs-view-f-/property_replacer.html
.phtml

Can you post the output of %rawmsg% - I think it has to do with the
message. However, FROMHOST should always work. I would be useful if you
run it in debug mode (-d -n) and post that output, too.

Hi Rainer/all,

Thanks for the help, actually there were two problems,

1) Not able to log hostname from HP-UX - Sorted by using the %HOSTNAME%
directive

2) Not able to log hostname from CISCO IOS. It's able to send to old
syslog server - Still Pending.

Addition

RSYSLOG CONFIGURATION:

Aug 21 11:35:44 1672072 08/21/2007 11:35:05.830 SEV=4 CONFIG/17 RPT=18
Done writing configuration file, Success.



Older SYSLOG CONFIGURATION

Aug 21 11:34:13 <HOSTNAME> 1672023 08/21/2007 11:33:32.910 SEV=4
CONFIG/17 RPT=16 Done writing configuration file, Success.


Actually older syslog is writing hostname in front of message id and
rsyslog is not logging the hostname ( The logs are sent from a CISCO
IOS)
