Hi Zoltán, thanks for you support! The problem was, that the windows clients only uses tcp for connecting to the syslog-ng server. It works now, by creating a tcp source.

Please check the following changes in your agent configuration and fix them if they are not correct: -server address -server port -SSL usage (perhaps, your server wants to use ssl but your agent doesn't) If everything is correct, start the syslog-ng in debug mode (syslog-ng -Fevd) and I think you will see the reason for this behaviour. If you can't solve this problem, send me your agent and server configuration, please. (for more information about debbuging syslog-ng/agent, see my blog: http://pzolee.blogs.balabit.com/) Heinze írta: Good morning, I´m using syslog-ng on a sles 10 server acting as a syslog-ng server and a sles 10 server acting as a syslog-ng client. The clients logs successfully everything to the server. I added a Windows XP Professional SP2 client and installed the syslog-ng client for windows. But unfortunately the windows syslog-ng client is not able to connect to the server. The only thing i configured is the ip of the syslog-ng server. I attached the debug log to this email. What am I doing wrong? The is no firewall causing the problem. On the syslog-ng server i see incoming packages from the windows host using tcpdump.
