Need some syslog help...

My assumption is that Orion already has a syslog server built in, right?

If so, when I try to connect on port 514, it does not connect...even doing a "telnet 127.0.0.1 514" right on the server does not work...

What am I missing??

Syslog is a UDP protocol - you can't test it with a TCP client like telnet.

Check the Windows Service Manager - is SolarWinds Syslog Service running?

Doh!...you're right...

Yes, the service is running...

You can run the Syslog Viewer app to see if Orion is receiving messges correctly.

Yes, loaded it on a server in the same subnet...but when trying to add the IP of the Orion server, it complains about not being able to resolve the DNS...I enter it anyway...and when I try a test, the event log tells me that it can't determine the syslog servers....
