Not on purpose but previous sysadmins may have. We did change the syslog-ng.conf file to get things sent to a remote syslog server. However this issue preexisted that change. This was added to the end of the file.

 

 

destination remote_server {

 

udp("10.x.x.x" port (514));

 

};

 

filter f_alllogs {

 

level (debug...emerg);

 

};

 

log {

 

source(local);

 

filter(f_alllogs);

 

destination(remote_server);

 

};

 

 

 

It's likely related that we were unable to get remote syslog working through the proper commands, we followed the directions in the threads for properly setting it up - all changes had no effect until we added the above and restarted syslog-ng

 

 

I appreciate your attention to this matter! Thanks.
