I'm testing out logging from another host to a central syslog-ng host. The host I'm logging to is a redhat-7.0 linux box with 1.4.11. The host I'm logging from is a Solaris 7 box running sun's standard syslog. I've defined loghost in /etc/hosts, and I've seen a couple of messages arrive. However it's been forever since any messages have been logged from this host. If I do a netstat -an I see the following Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State udp 65520 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* I have the following source definition source udp_src {udp();} And I'm simply trying to get it to default to a /var/log/messages log { source(udp_src); filter(DEFAULT); destination(messages);}; I'm reading the netstat as indicating the data is being sent, and is being received. However, it's not being written to the files. Other data has been written in the meantime to the log files. We currently are logging several cisco routers with the source: udp_src { udp()}; In fact this was logging messages ealier as well. I've been trying to tweak it a little and now it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone seen this? This is very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas on what I may have done wrong?
