Hello, I'm using this cookbook as part of Rackspace Private Cloud's Openstack installation. I've noticed that the rsyslog.conf that is set up by this cookbook sets the TCP port to 514. From what I can gather, port 514 should only be used for UDP, while ports 601 or 6514 should be used for TCP syslog traffic. I know this can be overridden easily, but I thought it may be something your team would like to explore.
Here's some references pointing to the port definitions:
