We are evaluating the SL4NT 2.1 for use in our enterprise to capture syslog

messages from our Cisco routers. However I have had no luck nor has my

counterparts at our corporate office in Italy.

I setup SL4NT on a NT server and configured it to log all SYSLOG messages to

the disk. Every syslog capable program I have onsite is able to send syslog

messages to it except for my Cisco routers. Do you know why? I know the

configuration of my Cisco routers is correct because at this site I use

Cisco Resource Essentials to capture Syslog messages from my Cisco

Equipment. However this would be a solution that would deployed in several

different affiliate offices around the world...assuming I could get it to

work.

Could you give me any ideas why this is not working for me? I have even

tried installing it on a different NT server with no luck.

Thanks!

Hi Kent,

the fact that SL4NT logs syslog messages from other syslog clients indicates

that there's a problem with your router configuration.

To troubleshoot:

1. Use a network sniffer (like Network Monitor, included with NT4 & W2K

server) to verify that syslog messages are sent from the router to the

computer running SL4NT (target port: UDP/514).

2. Use the SL4NT perf counters (Syslog Service object, counter: Messages

received) to check if syslog messages are received by SL4NT.
