# mkdir /var/log/H3C
# touch /var/log/H3C/information
Step 2: Edit file /etc/syslog.conf as the super user (root), add the following
selector/actor pairs.
# H3C configuration messages
local7.info
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 view the number of syslogd (system daemon) through the
following command, kill syslogd daemon and reuse -r option the start syslogd in
daemon.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -9 147
# syslogd -r &
Note:
For LINUX loghost, you must ensure that syslogd daemon is started by -r option.
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.
