On the client, i.e. the sending host, you don't need $ModLoad imudp and $UDPServerRun 514, that is only need for the receiving server. And as was already mentioned, you are sending the messages to yourself > RECEIVING SERVER (99.30.25.2, Squeeze, up to date) > > /etc/rsyslog.conf > $ModLoad imudp > $UDPServerRun 514 > > > /etc/default/rsyslog > RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r" The options in /etc/default/rsyslog (as documented) are outdated. Keep the default compat level (-c 4) and use the $UDPServerRun directive, as you already did. A trivial example: sender (10.20.30.40): *.* @11.22.33.44 receiver (11.22.33.44): $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 *.* /var/log/all That's all. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
