1. Do those log end up _somewhere_? (some default destination)

If you can find them anywhere, log them with the template RSYSLOG_DebugFormat so you can see how they are parsed, usually the problem is that they aren't being parsed as you expect them to be.

2. Are you sure that rsyslog actually gets those events? (tcpdump can still show UDP packets on the wire even if they are filtered out by local firewall (or rp_filter assuming you're running linux)).

one thing that can happen if you don't have a default route is that the IP stack can throw away UDP packets where you don't have a route to the source IP

3. I'm not familiar with the question mark syntax, but you have "firepower_systemevents" there. Even assuming it should be a name of the template, you have your template defined as "systemevents".

Hi Team,

I've been using rsyslog extensively for our daily operations, but today I ran into an issue where the rsyslog template is not getting applied to logs from specific devices. I verified that logs are received from these devices using tcpdump, and I created a basic template to store logs coming from the specified IP addresses. However, it still isn't working.

I enabled debug logging to check for any errors, but there was nothing relevant in the debug file, likely because rsyslog isn't able to read those logs. Can you help me understand what's going wrong?

My template -
$template systemevents,"/var/syslog/rsyslog/Systemevents/%fromhost-ip%/messages_%$YEAR%-%$MONTH%-%$DAY%-%$HOUR%.log" if ($fromhost-ip startswith '1.10.5.2' or $fromhost startswith 'Cxxxxxx1' or $msg contains Cxxxxxxx1') then ?firepower_systemevents
