I'm trying to figure out how I can send openvpn syslog message to a remote server. Openvpn documentation is non existent but according to server.conf messages should be forwarded to syslog by default if you disable to local log files. I tried that and configured rsyslog as well with the help of google but its not working. I can send a udp test message to my remote server so I know its not a network/remote server issue.
I also tried imfile for rsyslog to see if I can at least send the /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log content to my remote server but that isn't working either.
Openvpn and rsyslog both are thing on docs and don't seem to have any troubleshooting built in. I tried various solutions I found but nothing works.
