The word immediately after the timestamp in any syslog file is the
hostname of the machine sending the alert. For example, these lines
came from some networked printers at work:
Jun 9 10:34:46 hp8100mp1 printer: paper jam
Jun 9 10:35:12 hp8100mp1 printer: error cleared
Jun 13 08:14:43 hp4000sa printer: paper out
Jun 13 08:14:43 hp4000sa printer: error cleared
so, they are already tagged.
