Running into the same thing here myself

Hello,

First of all, yes you can use udp:// instead of tcp://

If you have an XOA, can you open a support tunnel, this would allow me to investigate what's the issue it?

lawrencesystems

@julien-f Yes, should I DM you the support number?

julien-f

@lawrencesystems Yes please

(You can even write it here if you want, only support team can access them).

@julien-f
Tunnel support # is 44423

@lawrencesystems There was a typo in our blog post (and our sample config), the section should be logs.transport.syslog and not log.transport.syslog.

Also, you should not change the config in xo-server's directory, only in /etc/xo-server/.

I have fixed both issues for you, you only need to restart xo-server

Keep me posted.

@julien-f
I rebooted and I have tested both tcp:// and udp:// and it's not sending anything. Also checked using ss -t to and I don't see any TCP connection going to the logging server. Support # is 44423

@lawrencesystems There is a bug, a dependency is missing: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/ccafc15b669cf71ab1ec68cdc81d887bc829b2b2

I've installed the correct dependency on your appliance, please restart xo-server and keep me posted

Keep in mind that you should be able to edit the log config without having to restart xo-server

@julien-f I am still not seeing syslog traffic either.
My XOA is patched to the latest release and I am defining [logs.transport.syslog] in my config file.

@chromerooster we are about to release a patch version on latest this week. It will fix it So hang on!

olivierlambert

It is released! Kudos to the XO team (and @Danp for spotting another quirk)
