Thanks Asad and Peter.

I can see no traffic is being exported from the SRX by checking the
security flow session.  Below is my configuration just to make sure this
how you make it work with syslog server.

[edit]
admin at RFW1# show security log
mode stream;
format sd-syslog;
source-address 10.0.254.1;
stream IDP-DATA {
    host {
        10.1.112.2;
    }
}

[edit]
admin at RFW1# run show security flow session destination-prefix 10.1.112.2
Total sessions: 0

admin at RFW1# run ping 10.1.112.2 source 10.0.254.1
PING 10.1.112.2 (10.1.112.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.1.112.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=7.899 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.112.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=9.984 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.112.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=3.236 ms

the reachability between the syslog and source is working fine. not sure
why it's not exporting.

Regards,
