So if I want to accept syslog messages on syslog-ng server X/port: 1111 from host 192.168.1.1, port: 2222 and host 192.168.10.1, port: 2222. I will have the following on server X source host10 {tcp(ip(192.168.1.1) port(2222); tcp(ip(192.168.10.1) port(2222); }; destination host10logs { file("/var/adm/host10.log" compress(on) sync(0); }; log {source(host10);destination(host10logs); }; Is this correct? I will similarly set the destination on the client machines to have destination {tcp(ip(server X) port (1111);} What does filter host10 {host("192.168.1.1"); }; give me ?

1. The client syslog-ng makes a TCP connection to the server which is listening for a TCP request. 2. Standard syslog is UDP and doesn't do TCP. You have to have syslog-ng on both the client and the server. 3. The port is the same as the UDP port, 514. You can have both types on the same port. Yes you do have control over it. You can change the source port on the server and change the destination port on the client.

Hi I have few basic questions about syslog-ng. If somebody can give me answers or give me some pointers. I am using syslog-ng to log syslog messages from a client to server and a firewall between them. 1. How is the sysloging TCP instead of UDP? Is this something the syslog-ng needs to be configured. 2. The client which initiates the syslog logging, is this normal syslog client? or do I need to install syslog-ng there too? 3.When it uses TCP, which port does it use? Does the user have control over the port number?
Thanks in advance Ravi
