syslog Delivery over UDP is Not Guaranteed

Symptom:

Guaranteed delivery can be a problem for direct collection of syslogs using the syslog Listener's UDP protocol.

Solution:

Consider employing a syslog local collection mechanism as a workaround for the potential problems with guaranteed delivery. That is, configure a syslog listener on an agent installed with the syslog event source.

Note: Use the well-known port for syslog, port 514, only if the agent is running as root. If the agent is running as a lower-privileged user, which is recommended, assign a private port. Private ports are those from 49152 through 65535.
