The code below tells syslog-ng to monitor port 49152 for UDP packets, this port should be free unless you have already configured that port for something else. If you want to use another port you can change it but do not attempt to use port 514 as it is disabled by the internal syslogd. Also if the device sending the Syslog data only supports TCP packets then you may need to change that, see this wiki's discussion page for more info. | The code below tells syslog-ng to monitor port 49152 for UDP packets, this port should be free unless you have already configured that port for something else.

The code below tells syslog-ng to create a new file for storing log messages every day, you can change the log file name if required, but beware of using a static name as the log file can grow too large if you do not have some method of clearing/rotating it. | The code below tells syslog-ng to create a new file for storing log messages every day, you can change the log file name if required, but beware of using a static name as the log file can grow too large if you do not have some method of clearing/rotating it. |
