Nagios Support Forum

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.

That did the trick. Thanks for the speedy response.

No problem - glad to hear you're up and running. Feel free to open a new thread with any additional questions!
