Hi everybody,
I'm currently trying to set up a Nagios Log Server instance for logging our switch/router syslog output. My current problem is, that the default port Nagios Log Server is listening to for syslog is 5544. But by definition the default port for syslog is 514. I got plenty of switches that don't allow to alter the port for outgoing syslog messages. These switches will always use port 514. I tried to change the input file by replacing the "port => 5544" with "port => 514" but this doesn't seem to work. When I Save and Apply the Admin Overview only shows the remaining default ports : "Logstash is currently collecting locally on: ***.***.***.*** tcp: 2056, 2057, 3515"
Is there any way I can use well known ports with Nagios Log Server?

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer. This should solve my problem, but how do I access the virtual machine using ssh? I used the pre-configured virtual machine image but I don't know the credentials to logon via ssh...
