I have several Linux instances in an Amazon VPC. They send UDP 514 to a
singular free tier ubuntu server running rsyslog.
It aggregates all incoming messages and sends them over TLS to a primary log
server running mysql and Loganalyzer on it.
Amazon makes controlling the hostname necessary because most hostnames look
something like ip-10-0-99-199.
I was thinking maybe there was a way I could force the host that is originating
a syslog message send it's message as an "IP address" versus the hostname.
If that were true, I could likely set any name I wanted in the /etc/hosts on
the primary server and then primary server could just resolve the hostname on
the primary server. Is that possible? If so how would I accomplish that?
Thanks in advance,CB
