SysLog Forwarding for XenServer

OK So I'm in, and apparently logs are getting sent to this VM.... now how do I see them... lol....
So much to learn...
Have you looked in Kibana yet?
-
@StrongBad Yes, and nothing is showing up.
So there might be something I messed up while configuring it, or there just isn't anything set to show yet.
-
They show up quickly. We're the logs pretty regular before the change?
-
LMFAO. Regular. Logs.

With just a basic syslog server setup and forwarding enabled when I viewed /var/log/messages it was blowing by

-
I still have a few compressed logs (things that aren't marked to be forward to Elk/Kibana)
-
Obviously I'll need to change the syslog file to make sure those are only sent off host.
But why aren't they appearing in Elk/Kibana...
-
Everything here seems happy.
-
I still don't know why the logging isn't showing up in Kibana. . .

What do the local logs say? On both ends. There should be Logstash logs saying what has happened.

I'm still new to syslog, so what should I be looking at to answer this question?

You could just use Graylog. It uses rsyslog instead of file-beat (which doesn't work with journalctl anyway).

Since I'm having a hell of time getting this going, I setup a KiwI Syslog on a VM from one of my host, and it just works.
Just enabling the logging to the IP address, and let it go.

Instead of posting the logs to diagnose?

@scottalanmiller Again, where do I look for them....

Check the logs.
(Boy I am glad I am not withing physical reach of you!
) -
My point with the Kiwi server is that I must've misconfigured something on the SysLog installation.
Since I've made no direct change other than the logging address in the XC settings. (which does update the settings in the server) but it doesn't change the default port etc.

/var/log/messages same as always
