Syslog server doesn't receive messages from the devices.

[Lost & Found]

Hi,

I have my Syslog server 10.34.48.122 (CPU Only) and I have Configure logging on my Cisco devices. 3 months ago it's working properly but today I can't receive any message coming from the devices?

Tried to restart the workstation and checked whether I can ping all the devices its working vise versa.

thanks

what syslog software you are using ?? Have you tried to restart that as well ?

if linux then need to restart the syslog service as well. e.g. "service syslogd restart"

goto "services.msc" via cmd prompt and search for "kiwi syslog" and check its status, if "not running" then right-click and make it "autometic" and then "start" the service.

ok, in that case need to check the config of the devices and kiwi syslog. Also verify the windows firewall, it should not block the default syslog port - UDP port 514.

Further, as you are using free edition, it has limitation of collecting logs from 5 devices only.
