You might want to pull out your handy dandy sniffer and sit outside of that device and verify the traffic that it is passing. Look for udp port 162. That would be a trap. O wait, you were talking about Syslog right?

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Have you setup your Cacti server's syslog client to actually log to mysql (including remote syslog messages)? With syslog-ng has the FIFO file been created? Is it being populated with results from syslog-ng? Do you have a script running to pull the results from the FIFO file to MySQL?
All these things are required for syslog-ng, msyslog is much easier to use, but then again, its not as robust.

Re: syslog ng
This is a little beyond the scope of this forum, especially since there are tons of articles on how to configure syslog-ng to work with mysql.nedo wrote:how do u do this to the guy of the last post???
