If you want to use mutliple clients on one machine, you must specify unique client ports on all but one of them. So using the default values will work in any case where you only have one client per machine. The default client port is 515, which is different from the default server/collector port (514).
Discussion Forum Suggestion: Modify Device Engine Function so that the user specified Client Port is always used for the local port, not just in the case that the Server/Collector is running on the same machine. Syslog Center can run on any Mac-OSX platform and implements syslog server monitoring capabilities. Discussion Forum Suggestion: Expose the Client Port setting to the user to allow multiple Syslog clients (devices) on one machine. Syslog Center is Mac-OSX based network management and monitoring software for syslog events that collects messages and notification alerts from any vendor and helps to monitor, analyze, report and correlate real-time network events in IT environments. Discussion Forum Suggestion: Updated syslog_Hostname.vi to cache the hostname on the first call, and return the cached name on subsequent calls to improve performance. Added NI Syslog Library (ni_lib_syslog) as an incompatible library, preventing the installation of these two identical libraries with different package names. Corrected syslog_Hostname to return the host name of the local device. Removed Error Case Structure from Device Send VI so that error cluster infromation can be sent automatically as intended.
