I’m running syslog-ng 1.6.11 on Solaris 10 zone, and so far I’m able to see logs being created locally but I’m not seeing any kind of logging from other Solaris host. For my syslog-ng server I made sure that I’m using udp and for source its door. I’ve two test servers running Solaris 8 and 10 that I’m testing from and have changed syslog.conf to reflect the changes and point all my logs to go to syslog-ng. It’s not the firewall that is blocking it as we are able to telnet to port 514 and whatever you type in the cmd prompt it records it on the syslog-ng server. I know I’m missing something in the config file but not sure what I’m doing wrong.
telnet uses tcp, whereas syslogd uses udp by default, so the traffic might still be blocked by a firewall. -- Bazsi
