At first you may have a look into /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf whether the messages are not processed and filtered somewhere in those configuration snippets.
You can try to log all messages flowing through the rsyslog to one file with debug format: *.* /var/log/debug;RSYSLOG_DebugFormat Put the line on top of the $IncludeConfig statement. More on different formatting templates available in documentation. https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/templates.html and rsyslog configuration in general https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/index.html Peter On Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 2:06 AM Walton, Glenn <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, thank you for any suggestions as to why the data is not captured in > /var/log/messages. > > > > Data sent from a separate host on same subnet via: > > logger -p daemon.warn "to cpsyslog01 testing-d1023-t1855 > - on tcp 601" --tcp --port 601 --server 172.16.130.19 > > > > attachment shows data received on the syslog host port 601.
