Hello, I'm trying to sent all my logs from one openbsd server with syslog-ng to a linux ubuntu central log server also with syslog-ng of course but only the syslog-ng logs are been logged..<div>also when I do a "logger test" for example it gets log locally but not remotely to the log server...</div>
<div>here are my configs:</div><div><br></div><div>for the log server is basically the defaul of ubuntu with my addtions at the end.. you will see</div><div>some commented is me trying to fix this issue.</div><div><br></div>
