I am running CentOS 7.0.1406 with rsyslogd 7.4.7 and logger from util-linux 2.23.2. I have two machines connected via a switch. When I try to use logger to log from one machine to the other, nothing is logged.
When I use the --stderr option, nothing is echoed to stderr, which gives me pause. tcpdump shows data leaving machine A and data entering machine B.
The rsyslogd config on machine B is as follows:
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 2515
*.* /home/greg/log.log
In debugging mode, I am starting it with:
rsyslogd -f /home/greg/log.conf -i /home/greg/log.pid -dn
When I run this logger command on machine A
logger --tcp --stderr --port 2515 --server machineB `date`
I receive this output from the rsyslogd debugging, but no output in the log file.

EDIT: UDP connections work fine (when loading imudp and using UDPServerRun).
