I am using syslog and I have a default syslog config, how can I confirm that
syslog is configured properly?

Jim,

Try running tcpdump or snort in sniffer mode with BPF filters (snort
- -vXedi eth0 'src or dst port 514' to see if Snort is even sending them
out.

Are you using Syslog on the other end or Syslog-NG? Make sure Syslog is
configured properly of course.
