Hello all,
I was curious if you disable dns lookup when starting rsyslog does it
look at the /etc/hosts to determine which hosts are sending logs ?
no, if you disable the DNS lookup it doesn't do any name lookup at all.
If the sending host put a hostname in the logs, that will show up, if not, the
receiving rsyslog puts the IP address of the sending machine in the log.
