Hi，

Cacti:0.8.7g
PA:2.2
Syslog:1.22
While i installed syslog1.22 follow"http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:syslog.config",
there is an error"You are missing a dependency for Syslog, please install the 'Settings' plugin."
I fact i have installed settings.
Can you give some advice?

Install Settings 0.71. You may have to uninstall and reinstall Settings from the Plugin Management though.

A problem,the Syslog plugin is OK,but cannot get any data.
"SYSTEM SYSLOG STATS:Time:0.19 Deletes:0 Incoming:0 Removes:0 XFers:0 Alerts:0 Alarms:0 Reports:0"
I have configured syslog in related devices.
Syslog/config.php use the same with cacti DB.

Thanks,in fact i do follow this.
There are 4 steps:
1.Install syslog and config syslog.php with database
2.Install rsyslog and rsyslog-mysql
3.Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf
4./etc/init.d/rsyslogd
But still no data.
Anything else should i check?
Appreciate.

Yes, keep working with rsyslog until you have confirmed that it is properly inserting records into the syslog_incoming table. Use google. It's your friend in this case. You have to finish this on your own. It's a trivial Linux Admin activity that unless you come up to speed with, will impede you on much more complicated, yet simple for a Linux admin, daily activities.

Hi:
First of all you must check if you are getting logs from your equipment (routers or your own Cacti server), for example in CentOS : tail -f /var/logs/messages.
Checking the firewall (open TCP or UDP port ).
If all of this is working, then you must check rsyslog.conf...

True understand starts when we discover how little we truly understand. Stick with it and good luck.
