Note:
Note the following points when editing /etc/syslog.conf:
The note must occupy a line and start with the character #.
There must be a tab other than a space as the separator in selector/actor pairs.
No redundant space after file name.
The device name and the acceptant log information level specified in
/etc/syslog.conf must be consistent with info-center loghost and info-center loghost
a.b.c.d facility configured on the switch. Otherwise, the log information probably
cannot be output to the loghost correctly.
Step 3: After the establishment of information (log file) and the revision of
/etc/syslog.conf, you should send a HUP signal to syslogd (system daemon), through
the following command, to make syslogd reread its configuration file /etc/syslog.conf.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
After the above operation, the switch system can record information in related log files.
Note:
To configure facility, severity, filter and the file syslog.conf synthetically, you can get
classification in great detail and filter the information.
