I've configured syslog forwarding via RELP, and it's mostly working properly. The only problem is that DNS resolution doesn't seem to be enabled for the '$fromhost' property, if the log message is coming from a remote machine via RELP. If the log destination is local, it works fine: $fromhost resolves to the simple (no FQDN) hostname, as does $hostname. But if the log destination is a remote machine via RELP, I '$fromhost' doesn't resolves to a hostname, it's always an IP address.
I found a similar issue on the forum, here: * http://kb.monitorware.com/reverse-dns-resolution-why-t10040.html Like that poster, my forward and reverse DNS lookups work just fine, on all of the hosts involved. Is this a known limitation of RELP, or remote destinations in general, or should I file a bug report? -Ryan Ryan B.
