I am using the appliance and I am trying to send it to the local syslog. This is what I am doing on the 5.1.0 appliance and it sends to the local syslog with no issue. I am doing it by IP address in both cases.
I did notice on the 5.1.1 install that I was able to install it with a unique host name so it does not default to localhost.localdom. I checked the /etc/hosts file and it does have the host name that I assigned, but I don't know how that could impact logging. I also notice in my VCO client when I make the changes to route to syslog I no longer get any messages in my console window. This is not the behavior I get in 5.1.0 In the previous release I get messages in my console and get messages in my syslog.
