Possible to have device names appear in System log?

[Teddyz]

I often have problems with my ESP8266. They are not always allowed to connect to my AX-88.

The log might look like this:
May 8 23:14:16 WLCEVENTD: Assoc 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:20 WLCEVENTD: Deauth_ind 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:21 WLCEVENTD: Auth 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:21 WLCEVENTD: Assoc 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:25 WLCEVENTD: Deauth_ind 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:26 WLCEVENTD: Auth 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:26 WLCEVENTD: Assoc 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7
May 8 23:14:30 WLCEVENTD: Deauth_ind 5C:CF:7F:B4:FA7

Most of the affected devices have manual IP addresses assigned. Could it be possible to have the router to add the device name from that list (or any list I provide to it) to appear in the log with or instead of the MAC address?
That would make fault tracing a bit easier for me.

Not possible, for many reasons, first one being that code is closed source.

I think you could do it with syslog-ng (and therefore scribe). You can define a template to rewrite the log message to substitute one string with another. But you would probably need to enter the MAC addresses/hostnames manually. Maybe not.

Thank you for answering my question!
