My syslog daemon does not log messages - what is wrong?

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this questions. However,
we have learned that in the majority of cases on of the following issues is
causing the problem:
- Check the facility EventReporter is using when sending messages
By default, EventReporter sends to the LOCAL_0 facility. This default can be
changed with the EventReporter client. Be sure to set it matching to your
syslog daemon's configuration.
- configure your syslog daemon to allow remote message to be received
Some syslog daemons require special configuration to allow logging from
remote hosts. For example, the RedHat Linux system requires a "-r"
option in order to receive the messages. The file to check in RedHat 6.2
would be /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog.
