getting a syslog client to send messages to a rsyslog server
So I have a RedHat server running as a remote rsyslog server, and I am trying to send logs to it from other servers that only have syslog running. Is this possible?
Here's my rsyslog server config:
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)
$ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)
#$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability
# Provides UDP syslog reception
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514
# Provides TCP syslog reception
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514
and I know the ports are open..
[root@syslog ~]# netstat -anp | grep rsyslogd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2382/rsyslogd
tcp 0 0 :::514 :::* LISTEN 2382/rsyslogd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* 2382/rsyslogd
udp 0 0 :::514 :::* 2382/rsyslogd
then on the client side I have the following in the /etc/syslog.conf
*.* @syslog
and restart the respective services on both boxes, but still no messages show up on the syslog box.
