syslog plugin not showing messages from a given host

[nezzerscape]

Hello,
I am new to cacti so please forgive me if I still do not know the basics. I has set up cactiez and enabled syslog plugin. Currently:

• I receive local messages into both logs and cacti
• I receive messages send via netcat into logs and cacti
• I receive messages send a remote host into logs but not cacti

Using nc (netcat) I have been able to send the exact "message" that my host in question does (based on what I see in var/log/messages) and that works so no issues with rsyslog receiving. cacti does list the host in question in syslog but no messages. I have caused events on the host in question and it logs locally and on cacti (messages) but nothing in the gui.

Any help would be apreceated.

Looking into the mysql DB I see the messages in syslog (select * from syslog where host_id=5). Where host_id 5 is correct for the host in question. I removed an filters in the view but still nothing.
