Hi

I installed Ubuntu VM and installed Syslog NG on it.
Got syslog ng running on port 514 UDP however I cannot access that port from anywhere else on my network.
I can ssh to the VM and ping it but not connect to 512.
Always get connection refused.
Any hints?
I got no fw on VM and in Proxmox VM settings Firewall is off.
 
I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish by making syslog-ng listen on port 512. People send syslog data to a dedicated log host but you're not talking about that. Are you setting up a log host? What is your goal?
 
its a log host running on vm in proxmox
512 was typo meant to say 514.
I got it working using rsyslog instead. Syslogng was not working.
