Question : Logging Linux to a central syslog server

I am trying to setup my linux server to send syslog messages to a centrol syslog server. I have added the central server to the syslog.conf, however, I am only receiving cron messages. I thought I have set this up correctly so that it sent all messages of level info or higher. Can someone look at my config below and tell me why for instance, I am not getting notices of when users connect via SSH, log in etc. I thought I would recieve them with this setup? Basically, I want everything logged and sent to this central server.
