Hi, That's it: I don't see the s_net source actually used in any of the log statements.
For testing you could use for example:
log {source(s_net); destination(d_messages); };
And your test messages should show up in /var/log/messages.

Hi,
The source declaration seems to be all right. If it still does not work, just a few more ideas what to check:
- make sure, that this source is actually used in a log path (other way it is not used) - if you use SELinux, set it to permissive mode temporarily (setenforce 0) - make sure that your firewall does not block it - the syslog() source is for RFC5424 logs, make sure that you send your logs using this protocol version
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Thanks, i have changed this to source s_net { syslog(ip(192.168.1.13) port(514) transport("tcp")); };
still it does not listen to 514 or 601
do i need to do anthing in the config file to make it activate ?

Hello,
The syslog source by default listening on 601 port, you could change that with port(514) if you want to.
See the admin guide: https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edit...
