Hi,

I just create a sensor "syslog receiver" to receives "Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller" logs so i just perform below steps

Windows Server 2012 R2 (Source Computer)

Run Power shell Command :

winrm get winrm/config winrm quickconfig

PRTG Server (Collector)

Add Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain controller device as SNMP device Add new syslog reciever

Sensor shows green mark but no logs is collecting on PRTG server.

Kindly help

Dear Osama,

You mentioned that you add the device ans SNMP device, is there any chance that you used the SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor instead of the Syslog Receiver Sensor?

I also recommend to check the settings of the syslog sensor and to remove every filter rule until any message is displayed.

If there are still no messages shown, install a packet capture tool like WireShark on the host where the probe runs and see if any syslog packets (default port 514) are received. This ensures that the sending device is configured properly.

Best regards, Felix

Yes i am confirmed that i used Syslog Receiver Sensor

Removed all filtered

On PRTG host machine i check with

netstat -an

and found that port 512 port is listening

Hi Osama,

Do the WireShark captures show incoming syslog messages from the device?
