Rsyslogd not listening on port
- by amorfis
I installed rsyslogd on ubuntu server, started it and everything looks fine, but the port the server should listen on is not opened.
ubuntu@node7:~$ sudo service rsyslog restart
rsyslog stop/waiting
rsyslog start/running, process 14114
Netstat shows it is not listening:
ubuntu@node7:~$ netstat -tlan
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

This is how /etc/rsyslog.conf looks like (most comments omitted):
ubuntu@node7:~$ cat /etc/rsyslog.conf

In /etc/rsyslog.d/35-server-per-host.conf I have following lines, and I suspect this can be the cause. What does it mean?
# Stop processing of all non-local messages. You can process remote messages
# on levels less than 35.
:fromhost-ip,!isequal,"127.0.0.1" ~
and if it is, how could I change it to have server listening and receiving and logging messages?
UPDATE:
I commented out suspected line, but still it's not listening on port 514
