 were all correct (Remote Syslog Servers, IP address) and just saving the
 page sends syslog data from pfsense to a remote host.

 Now there is no syslog data again. Saving the above page as is makes it
 flow out again.

 I conclude that under some condition(s) pfsense stops sending syslog
 data to a remote host. What might those conditions be, and where do I
 start looking?

 The last line logged is
   ...T02:57:57.142885+12:00 xx syslogd: sendto: Operation not permitted

Does local logging stop as well in this circumstance? The operation
not permitted from syslog is often because of something blocking the
traffic, like Snort with block offenders is a common one. But that
should only stop remote logging. And a kick of syslogd shouldn't be
enough to change that.

pfsense has been up since well before that.

TIA, and thanks for fixing that useless syslog format!!
