Log Server not receiving messages

Post by sciencedicas »

I installed LogServer and the installation seems fine.

but I configured a Cisco router and Switch to send syslog message to Nagios Log sever, but nothing is showing on the Nagios.

to me sure it was a nagios log server issue I downloaded and installed TFTP32, pointed my cisco router to TFTP32 and it woked fine.

do I have to do anything on the nagios log server ? like adding a host, open a port ?

thank you

Excellent, glad you got it up and going.

Often you need to restart the syslog service on network devices for them to pickup the new configuration
