One of my boxes has stopped logging some of the things it’s supposed to.  I use rsyslog which used to send named and dhcpd entries to separate log files.  Both named and dhcpd are working. I have shut down the DHCPD server and run it in debug mode and the output is produced as expected.

I have shut down rsyslog and run that in debug mode and it looks like everything is running, but it’s not receiving messages to log.

I tried

journalctl | grep -Ei ‘dhcpd’|tail

and I see the log entries for the service starting up, but no entries for DHCP transactoins happening.

My rsyslog also receives network messages from my firewall and they are logging as expected.  This suggests to me that the problem is that the log entries are either not being generated, or are not being allowed to get to rsyslog.

Anyone go any ideas?

I’ve tried the usual first step, and briefly disabled selinux but that made no difference
