Host information is missing while sending Oracle DB logs on hp-ux to
log-server [ Edited ]
I have several HP-UX servers with Oracle 11G DB on them. Logs of both OS
and DB are sending through syslogd to centralized log-server (1.1.1.1),
which is running on Oracle Linux. The problem is that received logs from
Oracle DB doesn't contain hostname information, however when log is
generated on its source (hp-ux server) it has all the information. There
are no problem with OS logs.
I've tested same scenario on RHEL virtual machines and there it worked just
fine.

logs on source:
Oct 14 16:27:42 hostname Oracle Audit[7745]: LENGTH: "220" ---output
info---

logs on log-server:
Oct 14 16:27:42 Oracle Audit[7745]: LENGTH: "220" ---output info---

There are configuration files of both client and server:
[code:ptexufmw]HP-UX Server
cat /etc/syslog.conf# @(#)B.11.31_LR#
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.

Can't figure out. Is it rsyslogd or syslog problem? 
Need your help :)
