Hi, I am trying to test remote logging between two ubuntu machines. In the ubuntu machine which i wanted to make it as server, i changed the /etc/rsyslog.conf as below. After that i restarted service with "sudo service rsyslog restart" then checked netstat. I dont see 514 port is open. As per some suggestions in internet i tried with ports 10514 and 20514, but no luck.
Commands I executed after changing configuration file rreddy@rreddy-node2:~$ sudo service rsyslog restart rsyslog stop/waiting rsyslog start/running rreddy@rreddy-node2:~$ netstat | grep 514 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 30472 @/tmp/.ICE-unix/25149 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 73514 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 23293 @/tmp/.ICE-unix/25149 Below is the content of my /etc/rsyslog file # /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog. # # For more information see # /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html # # Default logging rules can be found in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf ################# #### MODULES #### ################# $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging $ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability # provides UDP syslog reception $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 # provides TCP syslog reception $ModLoad imtcp $InputTCPServerRun 514 $AllowedSender TCP, 127.0.0.1, 10.22.42.115 $template Incoming-logs,"/var/log/test.log" ########################### #### GLOBAL DIRECTIVES #### ########################### # # Use traditional timestamp format. # To enable high precision timestamps, comment out the following line. # $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat # Filter duplicated messages $RepeatedMsgReduction on # # Set the default permissions for all log files. # $FileOwner syslog $FileGroup adm $FileCreateMode 0640 $DirCreateMode 0755 $Umask 0022 $PrivDropToUser syslog $PrivDropToGroup syslog # # Where to place spool and state files # $WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog # # Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/ # $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf Can you help me in finding what is wrong with this configuration.
