Configuring a UNIX System as a Syslog Server

To configure a UNIX System as a syslog server, use the following command.
• Configure a UNIX system as a syslog server by adding the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf on the UNIX
system and assigning write permissions to the file.
• Add line on a 4.1 BSD UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/log/ftos.log
• Add line on a 5.7 SunOS UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/adm/ftos.log
In the previous lines, local7 is the logging facility level and debugging is the severity level.
Display the Logging Buffer and the
Logging Configuration
To display the current contents of the logging buffer and the logging settings for the system, use the show
logging command in EXEC privilege mode. When RBAC is enabled, the security logs are filtered based on
the user roles. Only the security administrator and system administrator can view the security logs.
