Package: rsyslog
Version: 5.7.8-1
Severity: important

Ever since the 5.7 upgrade which I installed on 2/20, my rsyslog hasn't been
logging messages from remote sources. This started on the 5.7.4-1 package and
has continued with 5.7.4-2, 5.7.5-1, 5.7.6-1, and 5.7.8-1.

It's possible that something around UDP listening changed from the old 4.6
version to 5.7, but I couldn't find anything relevant in the documentation. I
have enabled UDP:

  $ModLoad imudp
  $UDPServerRun 514

and TCP:

  $ModLoad imtcp
  $InputTCPServerRun 514

and for the purposes of testing, I made a line to send all logging to a test
file:

  *.*             /var/log/firehouse

and then set another machine (running standard syslog) to transfer all logs to 
the rsyslog server:

  *.*              @alt

and ran "logger" on this other machine. No logs made it to the rsyslog server.

However, it is listening:

  tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:514             0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN 27536/rsyslogd
  tcp6       0      0 :::514                  :::*        LISTEN 27536/rsyslogd
  udp    16008      0 0.0.0.0:514             0.0.0.0:*          27536/rsyslogd
  udp6       0      0 :::514                  :::*               27536/rsyslogd

The only clue I've been able to find is these logs when rsyslogd starts:

Mar 13 01:09:43 alt rsyslogd-2163: epoll_ctl failed on fd 1, id 0/0x89378f8, op 
1 with Bad file descriptor : Bad file descriptor [try 
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2163 ]
Mar 13 01:09:43 alt rsyslogd-2163: epoll_ctl failed on fd 2, id 1/0x89378f8, op 
1 with Bad file descriptor : Bad file descriptor [try 
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2163 ]

That URL is a 404.
