what version of rsyslog are you running? Is there anything in /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf?

are these log losses common, very rare?

I'm not seeing anything obvious here, but one thing that could be the case if you are running an older version is that when you restart rsyslog to rotate a file (send it a HUP), older versions did a full stop and start, which would loose logs. Newer versions just close and reopen the output files. For a while there was a HUPisRestart parameter to control this until the default was changed.

Thanks David sir for quick help and sorry for late reply because my setup
is in college :)

what does a log message that is lost (i.e. something that wireshark sees
but doesn't get written to the logs) look like?


In wireshark it appears as   http://fpaste.org/45338/


  how's it formatted,


 The export format setup by snort application is LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT

what IP is it from, etc?


it is from rsyslog client machine[on which snort is installed] i.e. *
172.20.54.211*

Seeking for guidance,

Thanks!!
