To set rsyslog to run on a different TCP port, say TCP port, 50514, uncomment the TCP reception lines and change the port as shown below # provides TCP syslog reception TCP syslog may need a different port because often the RPC service is using this port as well. In that case, you would need both syslog server types to have everything covered.īy default UDP syslog is received on port 514. That is, because some devices (like routers) are not able to send TCP syslog by design. But sometimes it might be good to have a UDP server configured as well.
If the system buffer for UDP is full, all other messages will be dropped. This happens when the syslog server must receive large bursts of messages. The main reason is, that UDP might suffer of message loss. Note that TCP syslog reception is way more reliable than UDP syslog and still pretty fast. Module(load="imudp") input(type="imudp" port="514") To do so, edit the /etc/nf configuration file and uncomment the lines for UDP syslog reception in the MODULES section as shown below vim /etc/nf # provides UDP syslog reception Now that rsyslog is installed and running, you need to configure it to run in server mode.

If it is not installed, run the command below to install it. You can verify this by checking the version of installed rsyslog. Rsyslog is installed on Ubuntu 18.04 by default. Configure Remote Logging Server with Rsyslog on Ubuntu 18.04 Install Rsyslog on Ubuntu 18.04 You may want to check out our previous article on basic introduction to rsyslog filters. Rsyslog filters syslog messages based on selected filters. As a server, it receives logs over the network from remote client on port 514 TCP/UDP. When configured as a client, it sends logs to a remote server over the network via TCP/UDP protocols. Rsyslog can be configured in a client/server model. It also supports TCP or UDP transportation protocols. It provides extended filtering, encrypted message relay, various configuration options, input and output modules. Some log files are controlled by rsyslogd daemon, an enhanced replacement for sysklogd.
