i tried 2 different daemons because i DID follow the documentation.
first i did the install following this guide: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Installation
then i enabled syslog in observium according to this: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Syslog_Settings
when the regular rsyslog didn't work i tried this: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Syslog-ng_Syslog_Server
i've tried on debian, ubuntu and centos. still can't get it working. i've searched the mailing lists and google for help. i did everything one is supposed to do before asking for help. :)

Hi,
Did you follow the documentation on the website? The fact that you "tried with 2 different daemons" leads me to believe that you didn't...

Hi
I'm having a hard time getting syslog to work.
I've enabled the syslog menu in config.php by inserting "$config['enable_syslog'] = 1;"
Ive tried using both rsyslog and syslog-ng. But the syslog menu in observium is just blank?
The syslog server is working and receiving info on udp port 514. 2012 Nov 26 17:35:36 10.0.0.33 Address=10.0.0.253 This is a test message generated by Kiwi SyslogGen
Any advice?
BR
