2 Configuration on the loghost
This configuration is performed on the loghost.
Step 1: Perform the following command as the super user (root).
# mkdir /var/log/3Com
# touch /var/log/3Com/information
Step 2: Edit file /etc/syslog.conf as the super user (root), add the following
selector/actor pairs.
# 3Com configuration messages
local7.info /var/log/3Com/information
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 information center loghost and
information 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 &
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.
To configure facility, severity, filter and the file syslog.conf synthetically, you can
get classification in great detail and filter the information.
