Solarwinds Syslog will stop running after starting services.

Question

Currently I can not get Solarwinds Syslog to run for more then 1 min then it stops.
Error SyslogService 1019
(Port 514 on IP Address 0.0.0.0 is already open. Change the 'LocalIPAddress' parameter in the configuration file to another IP address or port)

I recently upgraded from NPMv10.1.1 to NPMv10.1.2, from IPAM 1.7 to IPAMv2.0 and NCMv6.0 to NCMv6.1. I did not see any problems with the NPM and IPAM upgrades but when I installed NCM I could not get Solarwinds Syslog Service to start. I am going to fall back on a snapshot that was taken before the upgrade, but would like to know if anyone else had this problem and what they did to fix it. I am new to the Solarwinds Family, but Solarwinds has been in place for more then 8 months..

Solution that worked for me

Navigate to to C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\SyslogService and open the file SyslogService.exe.config.

Find a value called <add key="LocalIPAddress" value="ANY" />
and change the ANY value to the IP address of his Orion server.

Or just do a simple search for "SyslogService.exe.config." edit via notepad, save then start syslog.

Worked for me :)
