Hi
I've got syslog working like a charm... My devices are logging to my observium installation and the /syslog page are displaying everything nicely. But today something weird happened.
The time is now 11:18 on december the 20th. But on the syslog page it says: Recent Syslog Messages 20th Dec 23:59:55 fw10 FILTERDNS : host_dns: failed looking up "CBB": hostname nor servname provided, or not known
If i take a look in the database, the last syslog message is this one: 7 1 4 4 filterdns: 2012-12-20 11:15:03 FILTERDNS host_dns: failed looking up "TMP": hostname nor s... 1987
What's going on? :)
BR

Hi,
The "last" as in, you sorted by date in the query?
The time is received from the host itself... something may be off?

The "seq" number 1987 in the database had a time and date saying "2012-12-20 11:15:03" But the "seq" number 1986 had a time/date saying "2012-12-20 23:59:13".
I deleted the affected rows from the database, doublechecked the time was synchronized via ntp correctly, and then i havent seen it since.

Hi Stefan,
Then this is indeed not an Observium issue; the date was received as such from the remote device in the syslog packet.
