Hey Alex, 

The IP is correct, but I've altered it to say localhost. As for the syslog 
tests, I've ran it verbatim, but it doesn't register. However, when I alter 
/tmp/foo to include two new lines, flume registers it as a partial event. 

It still seems odd to me that flume-ng isn't detecting the syslogtcp whereas 
flume-og is doing it perfectly. Is it possible that there is a bug in the way 
flume-ng is implementing it? 

Thanks,
Young
