I returned from being out of the office for week and realized something was “off” with syslog-ng. I was unable to restart the service. I did a ‘service syslog-ng status’ and it says it’s stopped. When I try ‘service syslog-ng start’ I get the following error:

Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:443)', error='Address already in use (98)'

listening on port 443 is unusual for syslog, usually https servers are bound to it so you should check / update your config
