  • Enable Mac OS X 10.5 syslogd to receive log from router

    To enable your Leopard system to receive network syslog submissions edit:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist

    Uncomment the paragraph commented: "Un-comment the following lines to enable the network syslog protocol listener".

    Then execute the following commands:
    sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
    sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist

    That should allow your external device to dump it’s log into the system log.
    If you have firewall enabled make sure to allow the traffic (UDP 514) from router.
