Logging Server issues

Not sure what is going on here:

Hello @Steven-Williams-83,

You can ping frome the 93180 the syslog server is one thing ; and the syslog servie unreachable is an other thing. You can ping it, then you are OK with the network (L3) connectivity. But the service (L7) is unavailable on your syslog server. Does the service run?

The output indicates that the logging server is temporarily unreachable. The fact that you were able to successfully ping the server from the switch suggests that there may be an issue with the syslog service running on the server or with the configuration of the syslog service.

To further troubleshoot:

--Check the syslog configuration on the server and ensure that it is set up to receive messages from the switch on the correct port and facility.

--Check the status of the syslog service on the server to ensure that it is running and accepting connections.

I have had the same issue, multiple times when adding a new logging server

Simply remove the logging config and re-add

no logging source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0 vrf Mgmt-vrf
no logging host 1192.168.1.99 vrf Mgmt-vrf
no logging host 192.168.254.99 vrf Mgmt-vrf
logging source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0 vrf Mgmt-vrf
logging host 1192.168.1.99 vrf Mgmt-vrf
logging host 192.168.254.99 vrf Mgmt-vrf

You may have to wait for or cause a syslog to happen (no shut/shut an interface not in use)

I seen this a lot with 9200 and 9300 Nexus different versions of IOSXE

have the same problem.

when i config logging server, it always temporarily unreachable on some switch.

after check the config diff,that happens when i config no autostate on the svi which is the syslog source-interface.

after delete it,the syslog server worked.
