Hi Thnx for the quick response ! There is a typo in the Example 3-9 destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999); localport(999)); }; I can only get it to work if i use destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999) localport(999)); }; - Henning

Hi

hi,

...

Is there a way to change what source port syslog-ng uses, when it is sending a syslog ?

extract from http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference/x354.html#AEN519

Example 3-9. Using the tcp() driver

destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999); localport(999)); };

...

I can see in our firewall log that it uses a high port Deny udp src inside:xxxx/32772 dst outside:xxx/514 by access-group "FromInside4"

you're welcome. GD
