Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• When configuring syslog server number four in the NSX-v Manager, the syslog server is not receiving the NSX Manager logs
• If we look at the NSX Manager syslog config file, we can see that the rfc5424 configuration for syslog number four are not being passed.
  

  # less /etc/syslog-ng.conf

  #Destinations
  destination dst_local { file("/var/log/messages"); };
  destination dst_console { file("/dev/tty12"); };
  destination dst_remote1 { udp("<IP1>" port(514)); };
  destination dst_remote1_rfc5424 { udp("<IP1>" port(514) template("<$PRI>$MSGHDR$MSG")); };
  destination dst_remote2 { udp("<IP2>" port(514)); };
  destination dst_remote2_rfc5424 { udp("<IP2>" port(514) template("<$PRI>$MSGHDR$MSG")); };
  destination dst_remote3 { udp("<IP3>" port(514)); };
  destination dst_remote3_rfc5424 { udp("<IP3>" port(514) template("<$PRI>$MSGHDR$MSG")); };
  destination dst_remote4 { udp("<IP1>" port(514)); };
  destination dst_remote4_rfc5424 { };      << configuration is missing here for syslog number 4
