I have problem with remote syslog (receiver) server, actulay it’s orion solarwinds network performance monitor that worx fine with other devices on my network, but i cannot receive data from MikroTik device… i setted up all the things correctly.
I have the same problem of your, and i can’t explain that! i’ve configured out info logging to be sended towards my syslog server. My login and logout are logged in syslog-ng. But when i set system messages to be logged out nothing appears!!
I think it is a bug and i hope someone will help us…

Use torch or packet sniffer (in torch you may want to increase the time), and see if its actually sending syslog packets out.
remote logging works for us, but instead of using the remote action, we make a new action and use that. It shouldn’t make any difference that I can think of, but you could give it a try.
I assume syslog packets are not firewalled or otherwise blocked between the RouterOS device and your syslog server?
