Oseec Server output to Suslog Server

[DirtDiver]

All,

I have a fresh install with a default ossec.conf file.  Below is the file.  I can not for the life of me get it to forward alerts/logs to the remote syslog server.  What i would really want to do is have this send all Windows events to the syslog server 10.0.1.116.

<ossec_config>

    <global>

      <email_notification>no</email_notification>

      <custom_alert_output>AV - Alert - "$TIMESTAMP" --> RID: "$RULEID"; RL: "$RULELEVEL"; RG: "$RULEGROUP"; RC: "$RULECOMMENT"; USER: "$DSTUSER"; SRCIP: "$SRCIP"; HOSTNAME: "$HOSTNAME"; LOCATION: "$LOCATION"; EVENT: "[INIT]$FULLLOG[END]"; </custom_alert_output>

the problem is probably not on the ossec side. I've got the following in my
config and it's working

<syslog_output>
<server>127.0.0.1</server>
<port>514</port>
<format>json</format>
</syslog_output>

what are you sending to? have you done a tcpdump to see what's happening?

I do have a tcpdump setup and do not see anything....and I have the ossec syslog enabled as well

[David Lang]

are you trying to tcpdump on the sender or the receiver?

Both....and there are no FWs between any....i could try to do 127.0.0.1 to see if it can send to its self.

I don't think this is a default ossec.conf.

Is ossec-csyslogd running?

Yes ossec-csyslogd is enabled and running. I should have said default from OSSIM.


thanks

Does it work if you remove the custom alert output configuration?
