syslog messages not showing Netonix IP on Graylog Server

[sileng]

Hello ,

I've setup a graylog server to monitor syslog messages. Every other switch identifies itself by it's IP address when sending syslog messages but the Netonix WS-24-400A only has UI: and then the message. There's no way for me to differentiate which switch has generated the error code. I've checked the settings on the switch and can't see anything which would cause this. Any ideas?

Also on version 1.4.7 firmware


Thanks

Hi Saj-

They come through OK on standard rsyslog on Linux,

so am thinking it is a configuration issue with Graylog.

This post discusses a similar issue to yours https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/g ... btUQljEgAJ

Instead of syslog("graylog.lab.xxx.xxx" port(5514)); try:
network("graylog.lab.xxx.xxx" port(5514));
This used to be udp() or tcp() depending on the transport you wanted.
Newer versions of syslog-ng documentation have emphasized IETF/RFC5424 examples, but what you are looking for is the older BSD/RFC3164 formatted message.

I don't use Graylog, but perhaps that will help point you in the right direction. -jake
