      Running pfSense: 2.2.2-RELEASE (amd64)

      Remote Logging Options
      Source Address                (LAN-CARP)

      When tcpdumping port 514 on my syslog server I dont see anything coming in from my pfSense host.

      If I switch pfSense Source Address to normal LAN I see logs starts dropping in instantly.

      Is this by design or should I file a bug report?

        Just realized this probably fit better under the CARP/VIPs forum.

        Could a moderator please move it?

          I would think you would want all cluster members logging and would want to be able to tell which member the log entry came from anyway.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Hmm.

            I would think your logic is flawed.

            I use CARP for failover purposes and send my logs to an ELK stack to visualize firewall entries.

            Why would I want logs from the secondary host when its in Backup state and not being actively used? And even then, I could just configure the other hosts to use their LAN IP as source? And keep primary as CARP.
