I don't think it is a particularly good idea to put your own directives<br>
in the file *before* the global directives, although in this case it<br>
probably works fine.<br>
<br>
Look at the very last directive - that includes any files under a<br>
subdirectory. You should put your own directives in a file in that<br>
directory. The only reason to do otherwise is if you are editing lines<br>
/out/ of the main config file.<br>
<br>
Lastly, the "*.*" directive above /should/ mean that you don't need to<br>
specify any of the "local?.*" directives, as this includes all of them.<br>

Thanks for the answer. I agree with you, it's probably not a good idea to<br>
do what I have done. I was just following the rsyslog examples for<br>
forwarding all logs to a remote server. Unfortunately it still doesn't seem<br>
to work. I have tried to add my configuration in different places, even<br>
changing the default syslog configuration for mythtv to forward all<br>
messages to the remote server (without the configuration in the default<br>
field).<br>

I'm sorry to suggest this, but have you overlooked the obvious? It may be that you are /sending/ logs out of your MBE but the log server isn't permitted to receive them... You have to uncomment the TCP/UDP lines at the top of the global file IIRC. There's also firewalls to consider. Are you passing port 514?<div class="HOEnZb">
