Configuring for syslogd

The system logging daemon (syslogd) is a process on UNIX, Linux, and some Windows systems that reads
and logs messages as specified by the system administrator.
Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslogd process to forward system events and error
messages to log files on a remote host system.
The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other operating system that supports the standard
syslogd functionality.
NOTE: Fabric OS releases earlier than v4.4.0 did not support UNIX local7 facilities; they supported
kern facilities.
Starting with Fabric OS v4.4.0, kern facilities are no longer supported; UNIX local7 facilities are
supported (the default facility level is 7).
Configuring for syslogd involves configuring the host, enabling syslogd on the switch, and, optionally,
setting the facility level.

Configuring the host

Fabric OS supports a subset of UNIX-style message severities that default to the UNIX local7 facility. To
configure the host, edit the
