Hi List, I wanted to send a test message to my syslog-ng server. I tried this:
echo -n "test message" | nc -4u -w1 192.168.100.10 514
But I saw no logs created on the syslog-ng server. I did see the udp package on wireshark. Will syslog-ng except my test message the way I have it formatted and log it, does my message need to be formatted in a specific way for syslog-ng to except and create a log? Also, should I change syslog-ng to TCP instead of UDP to better trouble shoot any network problems I might have pending my netcat test message looks ok for syslog-ng server to except and log? I'm not very good at articulating questions, so I hope what I wrote makes sense if it does not please let me know and I will spend some more time rephrasing my questions. Thank you for any suggestions or comments
