Configuration Example For Outputting Logs To A Unix Log Host - HPE FlexFabric 5700 Series Network Management And Monitoring Configuration Manual

# Configure an output rule to output to the console FTP logs that have a severity level of at least
warning.
[Device] info-center source ftp console level warning
[Device] quit
# Enable the display of logs on the console. By default, the display of logs on the console is enabled.
<Device> terminal logging level 6
<Device> terminal monitor
The current terminal is enabled to display logs.
Now, if the FTP module generates logs, the information center automatically sends the logs to the
console, and the console displays the logs.

Configuration procedure
Before the configuration, make sure the device and the log host can reach each other. (Details not
shown.)
1. Configure the device:
# Enable the information center.
<Device> system-view
[Device] info-center enable
# Specify the log host 1.2.0.1/16 and specify local4 as the logging facility.
[Device] info-center loghost 1.2.0.1 facility local4
# Disable log output to the log host.
[Device] info-center source default loghost deny
To avoid output of unnecessary information, disable all modules from outputting logs to the
specified destination (loghost in this example) before you configure an output rule.
# Configure an output rule to output to the log host FTP logs that have a severity level of at least
informational.
[Device] info-center source ftp loghost level informational
2. Configure the log host:
The following configurations were performed on Solaris. Other UNIX operating systems have
similar configurations.
a. Log in to the log host as a root user.
b. Create a subdirectory named Device in directory /var/log/, and then create file info.log in
the Device directory to save logs from Device.
# mkdir /var/log/Device
# touch /var/log/Device/info.log
c. Edit the file syslog.conf in directory /etc/ and add the following contents.
