This is the source, not the destination declaration. You can
use only IP addresses bound to the box itself, not remote ones.

What you want to achieve is defining a remote destination like:

destination d_remotehost {
	udp("192.168.x.x" port(514));
};

And then refer to this destination in your log statements.
