Hi list,
We have a central log server in place with logs going to files according to the 
sending host.
The template is :
$template 
DYNfile,"/dailylog/HOSTS/%HOSTNAME%/%$YEAR%-%$MONTH%-%$DAY%/%syslogfacility-text%-%$HOUR%"
This works as expected for mosts clients.
However some clients are probably sending malformed messages and we end up with 
funny hostnames like "unicast_addr_effective_port" or "ventID".
So I would like to retain the hostname only if it abide by our naming 
convention and otherwise retain the sender's IP address.
I would also like to build a list of daily culprit to try to correct the 
messages on the client if possible or to set them apart.
What would be the best way to do that.

Thanks
Philippe
