Please let me know do we have to add anything else

That can have different reasons:

For some devides it has to be enabled ("logging on" or "logging enable")
perhaps you are sending with the wrong source and you have to specify a "logging source"
Does your syslog server or a intermediate firewall filter who is allowed to send data?

all the devices having logging on but enable option is not there

perhaps you are sending with the wrong source and you have to specify a "logging source"

its proper source as i am able to ping the syslog from the switch

Does your syslog server or a intermediate firewall filter who is allowed to send data?

yes the syslog server is PRTG and there is no port blocking

Thanks

Hello, Wish I am not too late.

So what you can try, is to synchronize your clock with an unique NTP server ( and choose the same for your PRTG ) It's really important. The first time I implemented Syslog i got this problem.

But right now i have another issue, while implementing syslog in HSRP environement, it works fine for the first switch, but when i do the same for the second PRTG doesn't receive any message??? I am stuck with this.

Wish my contribution helped you....
