Syslog troubleshooting
If the default syslog port number is already in use, you will not receive any syslog messages from
the device. Use one of the following procedures (depending on your operating system), to
determine which process is running on the syslog port and to stop the process.

Finding the process

1. Open a command window.
2. Choose one of the following options:
•On Linux systems, type netstat –nap | grep 514 and press Enter.
The process running on port 514 displays.
Example output: UDP 0 0 ::ffff:127:0:0:1:514 :::* 27397.
•On Windows systems, type netstat –anb | find /i “514” and press Enter.
The process running on port 514 displays.
Example output: UDP 127:0:0:1:514 *:* 3328.

Stopping the process

Choose one of the following options:
•On Linux systems, type kill -9 “ProcessID”, where ProcessID is the ID of the process you
want to stop, and press Enter.
For example, kill -9 “27397”.
•On Windows systems, type taskkill /F /PID “ProcessID”, where ProcessID is the ID of
the process you want to stop, and press Enter.
For example, taskkill /F /PID "3328".
OR
1. Select Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Windows Task Manager.
2. Click the Processes tab.
3. Click the PID column header to sort the processes by PID.
4. Select the process you want to stop and click End Process.
