Hi, Strange though. What if you run conntrack -E ? Pls try the basic config first to see if logging works: Stop ulogd service and try the below config: Config Example ########ulogd.conf########## # logfile for status messages logfile="/var/log/ulogd/ulogd.log" # loglevel: debug(1), info(3), notice(5), error(7) or fatal(8) loglevel=1 rmem=131071 bufsize=150000 #[Modules] plugin="/usr/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_NFLOG.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_ULOG.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inpflow_NFCT.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_IFINDEX.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_IP2STR.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_IP2BIN.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_PRINTPKT.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_HWHDR.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_PRINTFLOW.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_output_LOGEMU.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_output_SYSLOG.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_output_GPRINT.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_raw2packet_BASE.so" plugin="/usr/local/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inpflow_NFACCT.so" # this is a stack for flow-based logging via LOGEMU stack=ct1:NFCT,ip2str1:IP2STR,print1:PRINTFLOW,emu1:LOGEMU # this is a stack for flow-based logging via GPRINT stack=ct1:NFCT,gp1:GPRINT [ct1] hash_enable=0 event_mask=0x00000001 [emu1] file="/var/log/ulogd/ulogd_syslogemu.log" sync=1 [gp1] file="/var/log/ulogd/ulogd_gprint.log" sync=1 timestamp=1 Start the ulogd service and tail ulogd.log if any error while loading modules? The logs should be recorded to the ulog_syslogemu.log or ulogd_gprint.log ? These are working example from my test system.
