Cisco 6509 not sending syslog messages

DanielDulin1371
Level 1
Level 1

My 6509 is configured correctly to send syslog messages to my ManageEngine Eventlog analyzer. The messages are not arriving. I have a ASA FWSM in the 6509. I conduct a packet tracer and the traffic is allowed between the 6509 and Syslog server. I conduct a packet capture and see no UDP 514 traffic from 6509 to Syslog server. Show logging reveals that syslog server is configured correctly and messages are being logged. 

 

6509 config:

logging buffered 32768 informational
no logging console

logging source-interface Vlan910
logging host 10.3.10.6
logging host 10.3.10.26

 

Show logging:

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 195693 messages rate-limited, 4 flushes, 0 overruns, xml disabled, filtering disabled)

as per the message  the logs are shipped to 10.3.10.6 and other IP address.

make sure this IP 10.3.10.6 reachable (no FW involved between) using source  Vlan910

 

10.3.10.6  - on thisIP check syslog running ?

My apologies. The syslog is running on the other ip 10.3.10.26. I can ping from the 6509 (10.9.10.9) ->  Syslog (10.3.10.26). I can ping from Syslog (10.3.10.26) -> 6509 (10.9.10.9).

you made the source as VLAN 910, are you able to use a source of VLAN910 and able to ping 10.3.10.26. ?

Hello,

 

--> Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 195693 messages rate-limited,

 

Just to be sure you are not rate limiting the messages, try and disable rate limiting altogether:

 

no logging rate-limit

 

 

Thanks for the input. I believe that --> Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 195693 messages rate-limited, is old data. This switch's uptime is over 6 years.

 

Besides, that count is not incrementing and the switch is not configured to rate-limit.
