Remove Client

[rlinux57]

Kindly let me know how to remove client or stop client to send logs to NLS ?

[hsmith]

What kind of device is it sending logs?

[rlinux57]

Linux based client.

[hsmith]

You could stop the rsyslog daemon, but that might be a little extreme. You could remove the directive that is telling it to send to your NLS server from the configuration and restart rsyslog.

[rlinux57]

Can you be more specific ?

[rkennedy]

Look in your /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory, and remove the file that is associated with NLS. For instance, mine is /etc/rsyslog.d/99-nagioslogserver.conf.

Once it's removed, run service rsyslog restart

I'm getting issue while fetching logs from client end, i have not receiving logs from client and i have allowed port "5544" in csf firewall on client end.

[rkennedy]

Can you please clarify the issue you're talking about? I thought you wanted to remove the client.

[rlinux57]

I have removed the client and add another client that's using CSF firewall i have allowed port number but NLS won't fetch logs..

[hsmith]

Something to understand is that NLS doesn't 'fetch' logs. The client sends the logs to NLS, and NLS processes them accordingly. What kind of syslog daemon is your new client running?
