On boot of the system, rsyslog is started up, and is mentioned to be active and
running correctly.
It is however not listening on UPD socket. systemctl shows following on the
status request:
Nov 20 13:05:43 sv-1 systemd[1]: Starting System Logging Service...
Nov 20 13:05:44 sv-1 rsyslogd[2113]: bound address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IP free
[v8.29.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2186 ]
Nov 20 13:05:44 sv-1 rsyslogd[2113]: No UDP socket could successfully be
initialized, some functionality may be disabled. [v8.29.0]
After restarting rsyslog, it is accepting information on UDP socket, and
working further correctly.
This was noticed by by looking for information of one of the other servers,
which didn't end up in the /var/log/syslog file.
After restart of the rsyslog server the information of the other servers did
end up on the log file.
Upgrading rsyslog from the default version in debian stretch (8.24.0-1 to the
backport version 8.29.0-2) didn't fix the problem.
Rsyslog is configured to accept UDP traffic from other servers, to have one
central syslog server.
To be able to have this working reliable, it should be start up correctly on
boot, without the need of restarting manual after boot.
