Hi,<br> I am trying to implement a centralized syslog-ng solution for testing purpose. My configuration is SLES10 on mainframe guest.<br><br>I had followed the steps given in the article below.<br> <br><a href="http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/18044.html">
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/18044.html</a><br><br>I have created the configuration on server <br><br><pre class="code">#<br># uncomment to process log messages from network:<br>udp(port(514));<br>tcp(ip("
<a href="http://192.168.1.42">192.168.1.42</a>") port(5140) keep-alive(yes));</pre><br><pre class="code"># this is for separating out network hosts into individual log files.<br>destination std {<br> file ("/var/log/HOSTS/$YEAR-$MONTH/$HOST/$FACILITY-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY"
<br> owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(y\es)<br> );<br>};<br>log {<br> source(src);<br> destination(std);<br>};<br><br>I then ran SuSEconfig --module syslog-ng. After that i started the syslog service thru /etc/init.d
<br><br>On the client i have added these lines to /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-<a href="http://ng.conf.in">ng.conf.in</a><br><br># send everything to log host<br>destination loghost {<br> tcp("<a href="http://192.168.1.42">
192.168.1.42</a>" port(5140));<br>};<br>log {<br> source(src);<br> destination(loghost);<br><br>My Problem is when i do netstat -an|grep 514 or netstat -an|grep 5140 nothing comes up. on the client side i see errors
<br>in the /var/log/messages stating "error connecting to remote system"<br><br>I am not sure but i think the problem is because of UDP 514 or TCP 5140 not being working. I checked the /etc/services and looks fine.
<br><br>has anyone had same kind of problem. Would be glad if someone could help in determining the cause.<br><br>Vick<br><br>};<br></pre>
