Example Configuring a Solaris Receiver (CLI)
Most operating systems include a syslog receiver, but some configuration steps may be required
to turn it on. Consult the documentation for your operating system or management software for
specific details of syslog receiver configuration.
Solaris includes a bundled syslogd(1M) that can act as a syslog receiver, but the remote receive
capability is disabled by default. To enable Solaris to receive syslog traffic, use svccfg and
svcadm to modify the syslog settings as follows:
# svccfg -s system/system-log setprop config/log_from_remote = true
# svcadm refresh system/system-log
Solaris syslogd only understands the Classic Syslog protocol. Refer to the Solaris syslog.
conf(4) man page for information on how to configure filtering and logging of the received
messages.
By default, Solaris syslogd records messages to /var/adm/messages and a test alert would be
recorded as follows:
