syslog message format
Hi, I need to send log message to syslogd, on RHEL.
The message turns out to include the originator's IP address in the header: Feb 9 11:12:48 172.26.14.238 09/02/09 11:12:48,245 INFO WindowsEvent: 508 Load Balancer Starting Whilst I want it to show the originator's hostname: Feb 9 11:12:48 ows01 09/02/09 11:12:48,245 INFO WindowsEvent: 508 Load Balancer Starting Is there an easy way to configure this?

syslogd only logs message text send by an application. In your case you need to configure your application (LB). Can you configure your app to send specific log message? On a related not on UNIX / Linux you can use logger command to log any message to /var/log/messages (default) from a shell script.
