TCP Syslog?
Hey there,
is there any chance to have syslog on collector using also a TCP port?
Thanks,
petr
Hey @mnagel, I don't have any Cisco reference to this issue on other devices, but we've seen it reported on other devices.
But yes, essentially syslog4j does not fill the hostname field in as described in the RFC, it just fails to parse the message. We modified to do what's described in the RFC; we were not in compliance with it previously.
So, there's no hard requirement that you send us RFC compliant messages, but if syslog4j can't parse them, they won't work in LM until we patch it. When we told you "it's not working because it's not RFC compliant", we probably should have said "our implementation can't currently handle it, but we'll fix it".
