[syslog-ng] Re: What is my incoming data

* David Anderson <dma@pern.co.uk>

I am trying to set up syslog-ng to process data from my router on port 514, but I don't know the format of the data to be able to build filters.

Is there any way to collect all data on 514 to a file?

Sure, use tcpdump or a script like syslog-snarf to record incoming data. Then check whether the raw data conforms to the syslog standard, for example with a tool like 'od -bc'.
