Action
To configure a syslog server on a UNIX or Linux system, follow these steps:
Log debug messages with the local7 facility in the file /var/log/myfile.log by adding the following line
Step 1
to the /etc/syslog.conf file:
debug.local7
Create the log file by entering these commands at the shell prompt:
Step 2
$ touch /var/log/myfile.log
$ chmod 666 /var/log/myfile.log
Step 3 Make sure the system message logging daemon reads the new changes by checking myfile.log after
entering this command:
$ kill -HUP ~cat /etc/syslog.pid~
To configure syslog servers, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# logging server host
[severity-level [facility]]
switch(config)# no logging server host
Step 3
Repeat Step 2 for up to three syslog servers.
Step 4
switch(config)# show logging server
Step 5
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
