A tcpdump on the server indicates all 5 are received:

Though alerts.log only shows 3 of the 5.

Sometimes it alerts on all 5. Though upon inspection it seems OSSEC misses
50%+ of my messages, even though I see the packets delivered to the server.
Is there an explanation for this? Any way I can get more verbose logging
on this to investigate deeper?
