We had the same problem due to missing templates in our manifest.

We initially used the example manifest snippet shown at
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/loggregator which mentions only the
doppler template. Looking at
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/loggregator/blob/develop/manifest-templates/cf-lamb.yml we
later determined that we also needed the syslog_drain_binder
and metron_agent templates for a complete loggregator deployment.

I was able submit a log entry from the loggregator VM using -

nc -w0 10.xx.xx.xx 5000 <<< "logging from loggregator"

and to test UDP

nc -u -w0 10.xx.xx.xx 5000 <<< "logging from loggregator"


Which leads me to believe the networking is working properly. Any other
thoughts?
Thanks!

Steve,

Until recently (cf-release v198), binding a syslog service required
restarting the app. If you're post-v198, it *should* Just Work.

However, one of the things that could be in your way is network
security. In order to forward logs to your drain, your loggregator servers
must be able to access that server. This is the most common cause we see of
systems failing to forward to syslog drains.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello,
We are having problems draining log messages to Logstash. The drain is
setup as a user provided service.

cf cups logstash-drain -l syslog://xx.xx.xx.xx:5000

And then bound to the service.

cf bind-service myapp logstash-drain

But no log messages are coming through to Logstash. Or more
specifically, we are using ELK and the messages aren't seen through Kibana.

We were able to log into the DEA and using netcat (nc), messages were
successfully submitted to the ELK stack.

nc -w0 -u xx.xx.xx.xx 5000 <<< "logging from remote"

Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
