this is what I have currently from this file https://vmssoftware.com/docs/syslogd-openvms-04-Feb-2018.pdf:
I do have a call with VSI tomorrow, though I'm not sure what yet will
come out of it.

I do have a call with VSI tomorrow, though I'm not sure what yet will
come out of it.
How did it go?
set this up, since we need to have this for some auditing purpose, I
said yes, but I asked them to check to see if anyone knew how before
they sent over a quote, I thought it was a fair question :-)

And did they confirm someone at VSI knows how to set it up ? :-)

and perhaps they should document it!
telling you how to set it up instead of leading you to believe just by
adding in the opcom section it works... it doesn't there is some other setting I don't know.

I'll try it on Monday.
and the logger test message does work. just trying to get OPCOM to
connect to it and hopefully your suggestions above I can figure it out
thanks

When you say "just trying to get OPCOM to connect to it" are you
expecting that syslogd will somehow intercept your OPCOM messages and
log them somewhere else? Because it doesn't do that.
It takes syslog messages that match the priorities you have assigned to forward to OPCOM, in this case local1.err, and does exactly that, as I demonstrated in the example.

But if one want to send OPCOM messages to syslog then I assume one could:
* enable terminal as operator terminal
* run a little utility program that trap broadcasts
and send them to syslog
?

Hi Jim I just downloaded the zip file and out of curiosity do I need 'C'
to run this?

Sure, why not?

will trap the OPCOM messages, and it's a simple matter to open a
datagram socket and write to the syslog port.

after a poke they did get back to me it was Jan and Sophia. no one in
support can help and it would be an SOW with an engineer. Who I
still don't know if they can help. waiting to hear back

If you are offered a statement of work, that tends to imply that
the help you are asking for is over and above what is provided
by your support contract.
As an engineer, I don't get involved in those decisions; I just
fix stuff.
I suppose it is since it's freeware from their website, though to be
honest I would have thought some form of helping set it up with more documentation would have been nice too.

In the broad definition of "freeware" (just meaning gratis as opposed to
a more narrow definition of gratis but not open source): both.
