Remote syslog not working
100%
Description
I have configured syslog to send to a remote host but it is not sending any traffic. Doing a tcpdump shows no syslog packets going anywhere.
running the command logger -h myhostip TESTING
results in a syslog message going to my loghost as expected, but the pfsense generated logs are never even attempting.
The syslog.conf file has no references to an external IP or host.

I was previously running the Aug 28 build, and it existed there. Updated to latest build today and still there.

I'm using the version 2.0-Beta4 Wed. sep 29 12:15:10 EDT 2010
The logging on remote server work fine.
May be your setting in system log configuration is wrong !!

I also confirm this is working in recent snapshots.
Can you give the syslog part of your /cf/conf/config.xml file ?

Mine looks like this.
<syslog>
<nentries>1000</nentries>
<remoteserver>10.0.0.20</remoteserver>
<logall/>
<enable/>
<remoteserver2/>
<remoteserver3/>
</syslog>
But...
# grep 10.0.0.20 /var/etc/syslog.conf #

<syslog>
<reverse/>
<nentries>100</nentries>
<logall/>
<remoteserver>10.195.2.147</remoteserver>
<remoteserver2/>
<remoteserver3/>
<enable/>
</syslog>
- grep 10.195.2.147 /var/etc/syslog.conf #
- grep 10.195.2.147 /etc/syslog.conf #

Mine is :
<syslog>
<nentries>50</nentries>
<remoteserver>192.168.2.2</remoteserver>
<remoteserver2/>
<remoteserver3/>
<filter/>
<dhcp/>
<portalauth/>
<vpn/>
<logall/>
<system/>
<enable/>
</syslog>
So more (empty) stuff in it...
Can you try to save again in the screen ? Just to be sure this is not due a (bad) config upgrade ?

Have unchecked and rechecked enable remote syslog multiple times, have removed the syslog server and put in a different one, have tried on 4 different pfsense hosts running on vmware. All have the same issue.
Updated by orangepeel beef over 13 years ago
they are all clustered though, Chris are your pfsense's clustered as well?

Can you also send me your syslog.conf ?
Thanks,
Pierre

problem seems to be when only ticking the checkbox for "Everything"
if i check all the checkboxes I get:
