Hi

You shouldn't. but tell me what OS you are running and I can test it.

You may have to deal with SElinux if it affects the rsyslog service.

Hi

During install you may get:

==============================! WARNING !====================================
SELinux is enforcing. This may prevent rsyslog from forwarding messages.
If log messages do not reach Log Server from this host, ensure SELInux is
configured to allow rsyslog forwarding.
=============================================================================

Run the following:

Code: Select all

semanage port -l | grep syslog

(Note: If semanage is not found then: yum install policycoreutils-python)

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# semanage port -l | grep syslog
syslog_tls_port_t              tcp      6514, 10514
syslog_tls_port_t              udp      6514, 10514
syslogd_port_t                 tcp      601, 20514
syslogd_port_t                 udp      514, 601, 20514

If port 5544 is not listed you need to add it:

Code: Select all

semanage port -a -t syslogd_port_t -p tcp 5544
semanage port -a -t syslogd_port_t -p udp 5544

Verify it was added:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# semanage port -l | grep syslog
syslog_tls_port_t              tcp      6514, 10514
syslog_tls_port_t              udp      6514, 10514
syslogd_port_t                 tcp      5544, 601, 20514
syslogd_port_t                 udp      5544, 514, 601, 20514

Thanks
