also, are you sure that syslog-ng was using the hostname from the message,

I am not sure how come a variable from rsyslog effect the reverse DNS
lookup at the central syslog server. Can you please explain that? (I'm new
to syslog and stuff so sorry if this is blunt obvious).
I'm saying that syslog-ng may be logging the reverse DNS of the machine
connecting to it rather than the hostname that was in the log message.

Hi David,
Thanks for you reply. I added,
# A template that resambles traditional syslogd file output:
$template TraditionalFormat,"%**timegenerated% %HOSTNAME%
%syslogtag%%msg:::drop-last-**lf%\n"
to my already existing rsyslog.conf but it didn't help. Can you please be
more specific about how the conf file should look like?

you want to change your default template, the TraditionalFileFormat
matches the old syslog RFC, which specifies that hostnames should be
shortened.

Subject: [rsyslog] Preserve full FQDNs in logs while sending from
rsyslog to
syslog-ng
Hi,
I am trying to send logs from rsyslog to syslog-ng server via UDP. If
the hostname for the box is foobar.server.com, I only get foobar in
the logs. For ex, I get
Jan 24 12:31:08 foobar policyd: connection from: 127.0.0.1 port: 45594
slots: 0 of 4096 used
but what I expected was:
Jan 24 12:31:08 foobar.server.com policyd: connection from: 127.0.0.1
port: 45594 slots: 0 of 4096 used
My rsyslog.conf:
$ModLoad imuxsock
$ModLoad imklog
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
$PreserveFQDN on
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.**none;cron.none /var/log/messages
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
cron.* /var/log/cron
*.emerg *
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
@syslog.server.com:514
And my syslog-ng.conf looks like: http://sprunge.us/OUOL
Also, I want to point out that sending logs from syslog to syslog-ng
works perfectly.
