Logging but Not Displaying

Post by parkprimus »

This is a brand new install - out of the box - so to speak.
Logging to the Nagios with one of my switches. I verified that is was logging from the switch and I did a tcpdump on the server and it is receiving messages on UDP 5544 from the switch. However I do not see any messages on the dashboard. Only messages I see are from Nagios and local logs.

Try using a query to sort by the source host.

It's worth noting that port 5544 uses the 'syslog' input by default, and you may want to try sending the logs to a raw UDP port, which would be defined in the following way:

After Applying Configuration, be sure to open up the relevant port on your NLS firewall. It's possible that the 'syslog' input is interfering with things.
