Roling release 2024-11-02 - Remote syslog not working anymore

Hello,

I juste update to the latest rolling release this morning, the remote syslog is not working anymore.

The is the configuration:

vyos@shieldgate# show system syslog 
 global {
     facility all {
         level info
     }
     facility local7 {
         level debug
     }
 }
 host 10.5.0.20 {
     facility all {
         level all
     }
     port 10513
     protocol tcp
 }

And the syslog coniguration file:
vyos@shieldgate# cat /etc/rsyslog.d/00-vyos.conf

Autogenerated by system_syslog.py

$ModLoad immark
$MarkMessagePeriod 1200

We always log to /var/log/messages

$outchannel global,/var/log/messages,262144,/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/vyos-rsyslog
*.info;local7.debug :omfile:$global

Remote logging

It as working fine since end of september
Thanks.

Do you have a valid route towards 10.5.0.20?

Does 10.5.0.20 even listen on 10513/TCP?

Are any logs being produced in /var/log/messages and/or dmesg and/or journalctl -b -f ?

Yes it’s working fine if I add this to the syslog config (file: 00-vyos.conf):

Remote logging

. @@10.5.0.20:10513

Until the next reboot.

What happens if you remove the config, commit, and re-add the config.
Does it then apply the correct syslogging?

I’m just wondering if there’s a problem parsing the configuration on bootup.

I delete the syslog config and reenable it:

vyos@shieldgate# set system syslog global facility local7 level debug
vyos@shieldgate# set system syslog host 10.5.0.50
vyos@shieldgate# set system syslog host 10.5.0.50 port 10513
vyos@shieldgate# set system syslog host 10.5.0.50 protocol tcp
vyos@shieldgate# set system syslog host 10.5.0.50 facility all level all
vyos@shieldgate# commit
vyos@shieldgate# cat /etc/rsyslog.d/00-vyos.conf
