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 documentationhttp://www.observium.org/wiki/Category:Documentation and configuration optionshttp://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Syslog_Settings 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.

---------------------config.php-------------------

<?php

## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here. DO NOT EDIT defaults.inc.php!

// Thie should *only* be set if you want to *force* a particular hostname/port // It will prevent the web interface being usable form any other hostname #$config['base_url'] = "http://observium.company.com";

// Default community list to use when adding/discovering $config['snmp']['community'] = array("public");

//frontpage map $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = "ZA"; $config['frontpage']['map']['resolution'] = "provinces"; $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 5; $config['frontpage']['map']['realworld'] = false;

$config['enable_syslog'] = 0; $config['syslog_filter'] = array("last message repeated", "Connection from UDP: [", "ipSystemStatsTable node ipSystemStatsOutFragOKs not implemented", "diskio.c: don't know how to handle"); ## Ignore some crappy stuff from SNMP daemon
