I have a Lenny server that is acting as a remote syslog server for a variety of 
devices.

Most of the devices are listed by hostname or IP address in their log entries.  
Other servers, or devices such as HP Procurve switches are listed by IP 
address.  However I have nine D-Link DWL3200AP WAPs that do not have any sort 
of IP address or hostname associated with their log entries.  So I get nice 
logs saying that the WAP has associated with a particular MAC address, but I do 
not know which WAP that was.

I think this is because the default rsyslog template does not include hostname 
or IP address unless the sending device sends it along.

Googling for "rsyslog default template" leads to lots of pages that mention it, 
but no pages that I saw that describe what it is other than the default 
template is hard coded into rsyslog.  All I want is to get rsyslog to report 
the source IP address of a remote log entry.  The rest would remain the same.

Does anyone know the default template for rsyslog, or a template that will 
always include the source IP address of a remote log entry?

Thanks

James
