To send system messages to a specified syslog server, use the following command. The following syslog

obsoletes RFC 3164 and RFC 5426 Transmission of Syslog Messages over UDP.

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.

Changing System Logging Settings

You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage
location.

level in the logging commands, you control the number of system messages logged.
To specify the system logging settings, use the following commands.
