Answer#

Syslog listener: service component initialization failed. The product recorded this while processing syslog listener; the appended event detail identifies the affected object, operation, or provider error.

Event details#

Event ID: 11113
Severity: Error
Component: Syslog listener
Windows Event Log source: AdisconWinSyslog
Available since: 26.07
Message pattern: Syslog listener: service component initialization failed. Additional detail: {event_detail}

Possible causes#

The destination or listener is unavailable, blocked, bound to another address or port, or configured for a different transport.
TLS certificates, peer authorization, protocol settings, or sender and receiver configuration do not match.

Immediate checks#

Record the endpoint, address family, port, transport, TLS mode, and complete runtime detail.
Verify DNS, route, listener ownership, firewall policy, and TCP or UDP reachability as applicable.
Send one unique test message and verify positive receipt and queue recovery.

Detailed procedures#

Verify listener binding and Windows Firewall rules — Confirm effective address, port, transport, owning process, and inbound policy.
Collect an Event ID and neighboring product events — Preserve the complete event and the product events immediately before and after it.
Export configuration and collect a bounded debug log — Create a text configuration export and time-bounded debug capture, then disable debugging.

Verify the result#

Repeat or monitor the affected operation and confirm that Event ID 11113 does not recur and that syslog listener processing continues.

Evidence to collect#

The complete Windows Application Event Log entry, including all event detail.
The product name, exact version, service account, and event timestamp with time zone.
A configuration export and debug log covering the same time window, with secrets removed.
