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.
