Hi Dojo,
I'm looking into the WISI Tangram connector, I see it has a SysLog connection. I tried to activate this by putting in the device IP into that connection during the element creation. But the messages weren't arriving to the element. I then filled in "any" as IP address and this worked, so the messages were arriving and filling in the table in the connector, this is fine for staging but I think that all syslog messages are now arriving in this element. What could cause this behavior? and what could I do to overcome this? (I'm also sure that these are the messages from that IP are the coming into that element as they match with with wireshark)
PS I know there is a Generic syslog Receiver connector, but i can't get that one to work.
Hi Timothy,
I suspect that the connection is a smart-serial one and that you want to use it as a server. Therefore, you need to define the address you want DataMiner to listen to. If "any" is specified, DataMiner will listen to all host addresses.
If you want to filter the addresses that your element communicates with, you can use the Accepted IP Address setting (docs).
Hope this helps!
Correct, I overlooked that the Accepted IP Address property is only valid for TCP connections.
That doesn't work as it is restricted to TCP while Syslog is UDP
