I know I know, what am I doing with GSRs it's a long story. But....never the less I have to configure and manage these beasts. I've setup a good syslog server and the GSR's sending clean messages BUT.... I'm getting the IP address instead of the Hostname is there any workaround for that?
Apr 5 17:52:33 208.XXX.XXX.241 11015: Apr 5 17:50:17.258: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty0 (208.XXX.XXX.121)
I'd like the HOSTNAME to show up instead of the 208.XXX.XXX.241 IP address makes it easier to read.
I can do it on my Pix's and ASA's all day long with "logging device-id xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" but I don't have this option in the IOS.

IOS leaves that up to the syslog server. Many servers have an option to do hostname lookups on the message IPs so they can write the hostnames into the log file. Check the documentation for your server to see if such an option exists.
However, if you had to add an option, try:
logging origin-id hostname

Sorry, the command was not introduced until 12.2(25)S. You will need to configure your syslog server to do name lookups.
