Hi Jay,

You need to have two sections to monitor both:

 <remote>
    <connection>syslog</connection>
  </remote>

  <remote>
    <connection>secure</connection>
  </remote>

In the syslog section, you also need to specify what ip addresses (or networks)
are allowed to send syslog to it (via the allowed ips option).

Thanks,
