Configuring System Message Logging

Logging Messages to a UNIX Syslog Daemon

Before you can send system log messages to a UNIX syslog server, you must configure the syslog
daemon on a UNIX server. Log in as root, and perform these steps:
Note Some recent versions of UNIX syslog daemons no longer accept by default syslog packets from the
network. If this is the case with your system, use the UNIX man syslogd command to determine what
options must be added to or removed from the syslog command line to enable logging of remote syslog
messages.
Add a line such as the following to the file /etc/syslog.conf:
Step 1
local7.debug /usr/adm/logs/ cisco.log
The local7 keyword specifies the logging facility to be used; see
the facilities. The debug keyword specifies the syslog level; see
the severity levels. The syslog daemon sends messages at this level or at a more severe level to the file
specified in the next field. The file must already exist, and the syslog daemon must have permission to
write to it.
Step 2 Create the log file by entering these commands at the UNIX shell prompt:
$ touch /usr/adm/log/cisco.log
$ chmod 666 /usr/adm/log/cisco.log
Step 3 Make sure the syslog daemon reads the new changes by entering this command:
$ kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`
For more information, see the man syslog.conf and man syslogd commands on your UNIX system.

Configuring the UNIX System Logging Facility

When sending system log messages to an external device, you can cause the WMIC to identify its
messages as originating from any of the UNIX syslog facilities.
To configure UNIX system facility message logging, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC
mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
logging host
Step 3 logging trap level

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Logs messages to a UNIX syslog server host by entering its IP address.
To build a list of syslog servers that receive logging messages, enter this
command more than once.
Limits messages logged to the syslog servers.
Be default, syslog servers receive informational messages and lower. See
Table 3 on page 8 for level keywords.
