One of our servers is forwarding fine however the files aren't being written to var/log/syslog/remote. I am new to Splunk so any assistance would be appreciated.

That file has written by syslog-ng not splunk. You could find more information how to change and administer syslog-ng e.g. https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.22/administration-...

Currently still experiencing the issue, tried the following:

- checked to see if SE Linux running in permissive mode would resolve the issue nothing

-not a disk space issue

-system for local collection is running under root account

- have identical settings on other server in different location and logs are being written. 

 

any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
