Hi,

 

I have been unable to get the syslog function to work and I can't find any info online that is helping I am just getting the follwoing msg on the webpage  

No syslog entries found!

This device does not have any syslog entries.
Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages.

See documentation and configuration options for more information.

 

it may be something simple that I have missed (have followed the documentation on the website ) see far below for my syslog-ng.conf, syslog.php and config.php

 

So far I have tested and my server is receiving syslog msg form my cisco devices I tested this by changing the destination d_observium to output to a file rather than "program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); 

which worked beautifully any help would be appreciated.
