[syslog-ng] RES: Problem to Get UDP Packets - Syslog-ng

Wed Mar 25 16:36:37 UTC 2020

Hello again,

	I believe that  firewall settings, is not a problem because We can see the packet using tcpdump

	But, what can I check this other items: 

		- SELinux options

		- Is syslog-ng configured to bind to the right interface

	And what is the command to use: netcat to listening the 514 port

Tks,

Atenciosamente,

Assunto: Re: [syslog-ng] Problem to Get UDP Packets - Syslog-ng

Hello,
 I can not remember a case from the recent past, where "can not receive UDP packets" was not an environment problem.
 Please check your:
 - firewall settings
 - SELinux options
 - Is syslog-ng configured to bind to the right interface

 Note: to rule out syslog-ng from the debugging process you can start "netcat" in listening mode, where it will print out EVERY message it receives. If you can not see any output from netcat, than you UDP packets do not reach the application level.

 IF the problem still exist, please share more details about your environment. (Distributions, version numbers, etc.)

Best regards,
Laci

Hello Everyone,

I installed syslog-ng on a new machine, however in initial tests, there was no collection of UDP packages by syslog-ng.

Here are some points I checked:

sudo netstat -plunt | grep -e PID -e syslog

Here is an example of the package received via tcpdump, but it was not captured by syslog-ng:

What I need to analyze / verify, for syslog-ng will capture this type of package and convert it to a file.
