Dear Janos, welcome back. Actually the whole syslog-ng service is working fine now, the “rebel” network device (firewall) is sending its UDP logs to the new NIC of the server, as expected. I made some changes either to the server configuration and to the syslog-ng configuration before this result but I am not sure they were decisive. On the server I raised the rx and tx default ring buffer value for all the four NICs, from 256 to 2048, anyway the value of dropped packets was low respect the amount of packets sent by device and ethtool does not show errors. I raised the value of NIC ring buffer because when I run syslog-ng in debug mode, I did not see packets coming from that specific network device entering syslog-ng, so I thought they were dropped. About syslog-ng configuration I deleted the @version row in every syslog-ng/conf.d/*.conf files I wrote and, but for another source driver, I dropped few logs to the same destination changing them in a more articulated filter, so using an unique destination. I restarted syslog-ng daemon and, then, I sent the logs of network device to the NIC added and, this time, it worked. May be it was only luck but now it works. If I should have other news about the matter I will inform you, but I would be glad to know what do you think about the changes I made. Thank you very much.

Anyway, every NIC has a number of dropped RX packages but either their number and their daily growth is not big enough to explain the amount of data lost. Further, netstat –su shows, under UDP, 1 packet receive errors only. I’m going to switch UDP devices again to log on not-working NIC (ens35 according data I’ve sent to you) to verify how many packages are lost in this case and I’ll inform you about the results.
