Node name in LEM

I've got a Cisco Nexus switch having the same issue and would like an answer to this question as well.

HI,

Try the following things;

- Configure the command logg origin-id hostname in configuration mode

   ex: switch(config)#logg origin-id hostname

or

- Create a dns entry for the node in your dns server and add the node again into the LEM

Regards,

Ejaz

DNS is going to be the most general way.

For agents, node name/IP comes from information the agent itself picks up, since we have a point of presence there.

For non-agents, node name comes from DetectionIP, which comes from parsing the log data. We pull the DetectionIP from the log message itself and in the case of most (all?) Cisco connectors doesn't use the origin ID, it comes from the source of the syslog data, which is written by the syslog daemon.
