I am trying to install a syslog-ng server on ec2 instance .As part of legacy configuration I require my hosts to be grouped based on their hostnames.Since ec2 instances are not keeping a common hostname like the legacy ,I am confused how to achieve the syslog server setup .Any help would be appreciated.
I am not into EC2, so it might be totally unrelated, but @peter-czanik had a blogpost about installing syslog-ng on AWS Linux AMI
