New user - Using CentOS to collect Cisco switch logs. No output to file.
twright1 created
I am a first time user of nxlog. I have a fresh install of CentOS. There is nothing on it but the base install, nxlog, netstat, and tcpdump.
I setup a very basic conf file and pointed several switches to the box but I am not getting any output to the log file.
I made sure that nslog is listening on tcp and udp 514 with netstat. I also checked to make sure packets were coming to the box with tcpdump.
Here is my nxlog.conf. Any suggestions?
