Operating Systems AIX Cannot send syslog event from AIX 6.1 to RHEL Syslog server Post 303013907 by MichaelFelt on Thursday 1st of March 2018 05:47:36 PM

just me being silly, but I hope you are using @some.sys.log.server and not (literally) @<some.sys.log.server> as I doubt the < and > are understood correctly.

Further, you asked about default locations.

AIX only "recently" started with any logs on by default putting the aso logs in /var/log/aso/..."

My default is the directory /var/log/syslog (with /var/log as it's own filesystem).

And I also recommend using tcpdump to check that it is leaving the host, and you can see what ip addresses and port numbers are used.

Further, you might try sending messages to AIX syslogd as a different test of the internal firewall.
